Darnell Washington, Cory Trice Jr. ‘Primed’ For ‘Breakout Season’, Says CBS Sports

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2023 draft class is now heading into its third NFL season year. That said, there’s a lot we don’t know about that class yet. Two players who still have a lot to prove are CB Cory Trice Jr. and TE Darnell Washington. According to CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso, in an article posted Thursday, they might just begin to prove themselves this year. Trapasso named each as a candidate to break out in 2025.

“OK, so Trice hasn’t been ridiculously productive in less than 200 career professional snaps. His play’s been encouraging, and I vividly recollect how intimidating his ball skills were in the Big Ten as a cornerback standing 6-foot-3 with nearly 33-inch arms,” Trapasso wrote.
