The Pittsburgh Steelers’ secondary has again undergone changes. Darius Slay is the latest veteran cornerback to be brought in. Juan Thornhill will offer depth at safety. Heck, they even added Quindell Johnson yesterday. But the name to keep an eye on this year is Cory Trice Jr. Entering his third NFL season, it’s a big year.
Simply being available will be a crucial box to check. Health has always been Trice’s Achilles’ Heel. Or more accurately, his ACL. Torn once in college, torn again in his first padded practice with the Steelers. It’s why he fell to the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft and why he missed his entire rookie year.
