Pittsburgh Steelers CB Cory Trice Jr. has had a rough path in the NFL. The Steelers selected him in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft after he suffered multiple injuries at Purdue, including a torn ACL in 2021. They were willing to take a chance on him because he showed talent when he was healthy.

Even his final year of college showed that. Trice had two interceptions and 10 passes knocked down in 2022 after recovering from his torn ACL. But the injuries continued with the Steelers. It started his rookie training camp when he tore an ACL again, forcing him to miss his entire rookie year.
