The Pittsburgh Steelers keep telling themselves, it seems, that they need to play the long game with rookie CB Joey Porter Jr. But maybe they don’t. While he has his flaws and continues to grow as a young player, he has more than held his own with whatever playing time he has gotten, particularly in coverage.
And joining the deafening chorus on the matter is NFL analyst and former Steeler Chris Hoke. “I think he should be in the starting lineup”, he argued during the KDKA post-game show yesterday following the team’s 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
