‘We’re Going To Miss Cory Trice’, Teryl Austin Offers On Secondary Depth

Depth has been an ongoing concern for the Pittsburgh Steelers for years, in some areas more than others. This offseason has that feeling that they’ve managed to address the majority of their concerns. They have tight ends. They have offensive and defensive linemen. They have linebackers. They even have quarterbacks.

What do they have in the secondary? Do they have enough? Patrick Peterson, Levi Wallace, and Joey Porter Jr. should make a good starting trio in the secondary, but is James Pierre, Chandon Sullivan, and perhaps Elijah Riley enough support behind them?

In speaking about the overall quality of depth that they have on defense this year, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin had one interesting comment, even if only in passing.
