Joey Porter Jr. thinks he’s the best cornerback in football. Though it’ll take more time for him to truly reach the podium, he might be closer than you think. Even as a wide-eyed rookie, there was no one better than Porter in big-time situations.
I’ve begun re-watching all of Porter’s targets from his rookie year. After halfway through, I realized he seemed to excel on “money downs,” third and fourth down when the defense is trying to get off the field. I asked our Clayton Eckert to pull data from Sports Info Solutions (SIS) to compile info on all CBs targeted at least ten times on third and fourth downs in 2023.
