Porter has flashed, but more involvement comes with a process

Double the snaps, double the fun, double the optimism that surrounds Joey Porter Jr.

Just look to the final play of Monday's game, where Porter blanketed Donovan Peoples-Jones and, while the ball was uncatchable in Porter's words, he was able to prevent a game-extending play from occurring in the final minute. The celebrations began with Porter immediately on the sideline, and the fanfare continued in the locker room with a visit from his dad.

Those types of plays are what gives so much excitement around the second-round cornerback and, at some point, around the possibilities that surround the Steelers secondary.
