Getting shown up by a teammate not only in practice, but on social media as well can be difficult to process and keep one’s cool.
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was able to do that Tuesday after second-year receiver George Pickens leaped high over him and hauled in a wild one-handed catch in a one-on-one drill at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe.
That catch set social media ablaze as Pickens again went viral for his absurd body control and hands catching the pigskin, but for veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson, Porter showed something in that moment.
