When it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense, the weakest position group entering the 2024 season is at cornerback. Patrick Peterson, Chandon Sullivan, and James Pierre are no longer on the roster, and the Steelers replaced them with Donte Jackson via trade and Ryan Watts with their last pick of the 2024 NFL Draft in the sixth round. There is still a lot to sort out in that room when it comes to the depth chart and the sub-package players.
Cory Trice Jr., a seventh-round pick last year, has a big opportunity to carve out a role on the team after spending his entire first year on the Reserve/Injured list.
