The Pittsburgh Steelers’ drafting of CBs Joey Porter Jr. and Cory Trice Jr. this year likely gave veteran Levi Wallace plenty of different feelings. Perhaps it caused him to question his job security, or at least his role within the defense. It may have made him feel a little old, even. He’s still just 28.
One thing he definitely felt was a little bit shorter. At 6-feet, he’s far from a Brandon Boykin, but Porter is 6-feer-2, Trice 6-feet-3, and both have well-filled frames, particularly the latter. So though he’s more than happy to play the older mentor, he also understands that not everything he tells them is going to be applicable.
