Every player the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted in 2023 remains rostered under their rookie contract. Although seventh-round CB Cory Trice Jr. is on the Reserve/Injured List, nobody was waived from their deal, in extreme rarity, if not unique in the team’s history.
Inarguably the biggest question mark in completing that achievement was the Steelers’ other seventh-round pick, OL Spencer Anderson. Pittsburgh traded two offensive linemen who were former starters in order to do it, but he did make the 53-man roster, as did first-year former college free agent Dylan Cook.
Both of them had a strong summer in different aspects, the common theme between both being their willingness to display versatility along with their ascension up the depth chart.
