Second-year Pittsburgh Steelers CB Cory Trice Jr. has had a hard road. While playing at Purdue, Trice suffered an ACL tear in 2021 after breaking his ankle as a senior in high school and even dealing with a high-ankle sprain early in 2021. But he persevered, working hard to return to the field and notching two interceptions and 10 passes defended in 2022.
Despite the productive numbers and tape in 2022, Trice fell to the Steelers in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He was the second corner taken by the Steelers in that draft alongside Joey Porter Jr.
