On tape, cornerback Cory Trice Jr. looks like a Day Two player. Big, physical, athletic, productive with high character. So how does a guy like that nearly fall out of the draft, all the way down to pick #241 before the Pittsburgh Steelers stopped his slide. This year’s cornerback class was deep but not that deep.
As we’ve talked about since the pick was made, and really well before it, the issue appears to be medically-related. In a Sunday tweet, Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy confirmed teams were worried about Trice’s health. He also confirmed that was the reason why Trice did not receive a Senior Bowl invite despite having the tape to play in Mobile.
