Moore, who recorded 21 interceptions, 11. 5 sacks, and 649 combined tackles during his nine-year stint with Indianapolis, was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2021. At worst, Moore would emerge as a valuable and versatile depth piece on a Steelers defense that's built to compete, while also challenging Brandin Echols for the slot cornerback role.
