Gerald Alexander watched the Steelers draft Joey Porter Jr. and Cory Trice Jr. in 2023; he sees how they’ve grown. Back in Pittsburgh following a one-year “internship” with the Raiders, he’s “extremely excited” to continue their development.
Although this is a pivotal season for Porter, it is no less so for Trice, as well. Both are going into their third season, after which is their contract year. While Porter is playing for his legacy and a big, fat contract, Trice is playing for a job. Alexander understands where Porter and Trice are in their careers, respectively.
