One of the most important parts of playing cornerback in the NFL is having confidence. Regardless of whether you’re playing man, zone, or even getting help in double coverage, you’ve got to have confidence in yourself. Second-year Pittsburgh Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. isn’t lacking for that judging by his comments to The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly about being the best corner in the league.
Porter’s father, former Steelers OLB Joey Porter Sr., didn’t lack confidence in himself, either. Perhaps its hereditary, perhaps it’s something that was instilled in Porter by his father from a young age.
