The Steelers kept it in the family to kick off the second night of the 2023 NFL Draft.
With the 32nd overall pick in the NFL Draft, the Steelers selected Joey Porter Jr. out of Penn State. The Steelers have needed to address cornerback throughout the offseason, and further accomplished that endeavor by drafting the son of former Steelers' outside linebacker, Joey Porter.
Porter surprisingly fell completely out of the first round in the draft, leaving the Steelers the opportunity to stand pat at 32nd overall and take a young, talented cornerback.
The Steelers fielded lots of calls for the 32nd overall pick, but demanded a high price to any teams that inquired about the pick.
