Length, physicality, ball skills. All are key traits needed in today’s NFL at the cornerback position.
Fortunately for the Pittsburgh Steelers, they seem to have found one of those unicorns, that being rookie second-round pick Joey Porter Jr.
Though the ball skills are still a work in progress, Porter has the freakish size and length for the position that is turning heads in training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, including star pass rusher and 2021 Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt.
Watt, appearing on the SiriusXM show “Movin’ The Chains” with co-hosts Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller, said he is blown away by the overall length of Porter.
