CB Joey Porter Jr. Already Among NFL’s Best Corners At Preventing Separation

When CB Cameron Sutton left the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency last offseason, they needed to restock the shelves. They started the next era of their secondary with the drafting of CB Joey Porter Jr. in the second round of the draft, the pick they got from the Chicago Bears in the Chase Claypool trade.

Porter was forced into duty in Week Seven against the Los Angeles Rams due to an injury to Levi Wallace and took over the full-time starter for the rest of the season since then. He has played 100 percent of the defensive snaps the last four weeks.
