The steal that Purdue CB Cory Trice Jr. seemed to be for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft almost didn’t happen. As teams made their final picks of the year, Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan weren’t the only ones willing to roll the dice on a high-upside but oft-injured cornerback. When they called Trice to let him know they were going to draft him, the line was getting busy.
Appearing on LS Christian Kuntz’s podcast that aired Thursday, Trice says another team was preparing to draft him at the same time Pittsburgh was.
