For the average NFL rookie, their first time practicing with their new team can be a culture shock. New environment, new locker room, new uniform. A lot of change from top-to-bottom.
However, for Pittsburgh Steelers 2nd Round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft Joey Porter Jr., his first practice was him coming back home. He walked onto the same practice field his dad Joey Porter Sr. walked onto as a player on his way to winning a Super Bowl in 2005.
The moment for the rookie cornerback out of Penn State was surreal to the point where Porter called it a “bucket list” moment.
