Joey Porter Jr., Cory Trice Jr. Appreciate Chance To Compete Against George Pickens: ‘Sharpen Our Iron’

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has a famous saying that he loves to use when discussing his top players on either side of the football going against each other: iron sharpens iron.

That is never more apparent or present than during training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, where Tomlin and the Steelers search for these matchups.

One matchup that has drawn plenty of attention in the last two years is cornerback Joey Porter Jr. against wide receiver George Pickens. Pickens has gotten the better of Porter in most instances during the individual battles, but Porter has also made his fair share of plays in the matchup.
