Some actually considered Trice their favorite draft pick because of his upside. He did not fall almost all the way out of the draft because of any concerns about his actual ability. Rather, his medical concerns put teams off, and unfortunately he ended his rookie season before it began.
Having had a promising offseason, Trice suffered a torn ACL in the early days of training camp. He had already weathered an ACL during his 2022 collegiate season, which he said better prepared him for this one. Still, the reality is that he never even got a chance to step onto a field.
One element to his advantage is the Steelers' utter lack of cornerback depth. They already lost James Pierre, and don't seem in a hurry to reunite with Levi Wallace. Even Chandon Sullivan, primarily a slot defender, remains unsigned at this point.
The Steelers do have another 2023 rookie in the mix, picking up fifth-rounder Darius Rush along the way. He's already on his third team, however, and they sat him for much of the year. Still, he has two healthy knees, and that's pretty important right.
