After missing his entire rookie season due to a torn ACL, and then being sidelined for the last six games with an injury, Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-year cornerback Cory Trice Jr. continues to battle through adversity.
Trice, who had a huge play in Week 2 in Denver, picking off Broncos’ QB Bo Nix in the end zone in a 13-6 win on the road, has the respect of his teammates and coaches for the work he’s put in to return to the field. That’s why he was named the Steelers’ recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award Monday, the team announced.
