Steelers cornerback Daylen Everette learns slot position

Pittsburgh Steelers third-round pick Daylen Everette is preparing to play inside at cornerback if needed. He made the comments after the team's eighth OTA session on Tuesday.

Daylen Everette has played only outside cornerback since being selected by the Steelers in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He recorded just 92 slot reps during his final two seasons at Georgia. Everette told reporters he is working to learn the slot role anyway. “For the most part, I’ve just been outside, but I’m just trying to learn every position just ’cause you never know what happens,” he said. The Steelers have several options at slot corner, including Brandin Echols and Jalen Ramsey. Everette has stood out during OTAs, which could increase his chances of early playing time on the outside.
