Coming out of college, CB Joey Porter Jr. was often criticized for a lack of ball skills, having only one career interception during his time at Penn State. He had displayed a knack for defending passes against strong competition but was unable to capitalize on the opportunities he saw as a Nittany Lion to effectively take the ball away.

After selecting Porter with the first pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan mentioned that the team wasn’t worried with the lack of ball production by Porter coming out of college.
