Player: CB James Pierre
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: James Pierre isn’t about to give up his roster spot without a fight, making plays on defense with lines thinning. A special teams ace, he finds himself in perhaps a losing battle to maintain his place on the 53-man roster. But there is room for him if he earns it, and he may have to do so by thriving in multiple phases.
I say this a lot, but once upon a time, Steelers fans looked upon James Pierre as they do now with Cory Trice Jr.
