‘Quicker, Faster’ Cory Trice Jr. Looking ‘More Comfortable’ At OTAs, Beat Writer Says

While the Pittsburgh Steelers have found a few hidden gems in undrafted free agency in recent years, they have mostly struck out in the seventh round. Their last seventh-round pick who turned into a starter for the team was Kelvin Beachum in 2012 with an honorable mention to special teams ace Tyler Matakevich in 2016.

There is a chance for seventh-round CB Cory Trice Jr. to buck the slim odds and become an eventual starter for the franchise.

According to Steelers beat writer Mark Kaboly, Trice has looked noticeably better at OTAs.

“He’s a guy that if he can just stay healthy, I think has a very legit opportunity to be that DB2 next year.
