In the midst of a strong second season in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is drawing national attention once again.
After a dominant rookie season that put him on the map as a true No. 1 cornerback in the NFL, Porter continues to play at a high level for the Steelers in Year 2. After a strong first half of the season, Porter found himself on former New England Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick’s All-Rookie and Second-Year Midseason Team, which he featured on the Coach Podcast with Michael Lombardi and Matt Patricia.
Porter was the only rookie or second-year Steelers player to land on the team, but he was the most deserving, joining Patriots’ cornerback Christian Gonzales and Seattle Seahawks’ cornerback Devon Witherspoon in the secondary.
