Pittsburgh Steelers CB Cory Trice Jr. became a fan favorite soon after the team drafted him. A talented, physically gifted cornerback who fell to the seventh round due to health concerns? He had draft steal written all over him—before tearing his ACL as a rookie in training camp.
But Trice persevered and he landed the Steelers’ top reserve CB spot in his second season. He played sparingly in spots, but also checked in for in-game injuries. After a pivotal end-zone interception in Week 2, he went down with a hamstring injury, however. Now on the verge of returning, Steelers DC Teryl Austin isn’t sure where to put him—and he’s fine with it.
