Joey Porter Jr. played up to his father’s standard as a rookie for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. The second-round cornerback out of Penn State started 11 games in the 2023 season, eventually earning CB1 duties as he matched up against opposing teams’ top wide receivers. Porter allowed an incredible 45.2% completion rate as the primary defender last season, one of the best marks in the entire league. On top of that, he allowed just one touchdown in coverage last season.
Porter has lots of room to improve in his sophomore campaign, particularly by limiting penalties (he drew 12 penalties last season, with four defensive pass interferences).
