One of the most entertaining battles of the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp has been WR George Pickens vs rookie CB Joey Porter Jr. The two have been battling every day, with Porter winning some days and Pickens winning others. Today, DL Cameron Heyward revealed that this battle was a plan head coach Mike Tomlin hatched during the pre-draft process.
In a new episode of his podcast Not Just Football, Heyward said Porter was the rookie who has stood out the most to him and that the battles between him and Pickens are making both of them better.
