With depth a concern on the boundary at the cornerback position, second-year pro Cory Trice Jr. has an opportunity to carve out a role for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Behind Joey Porter Jr. and Donte Jackson, depth roles are up in the air, but so far in training camp Trice, who missed his rookie season after tearing his ACL on the first day of padded practices last summer, could be that guy who emerges for the Steelers at the cornerback position.
So much so, in fact, that CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso believes Trice could become a “critical contributor” for the Steelers defensively this season.
