After his first season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Joey Porter Jr. is already being viewed by some as a top-10 cornerback in the NFL. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler conducted a series of surveys where he polled coaches, scouts, and league executives to rank the top 10 players at each position group. While no Steelers player cracked the top 10 at corner, Porter was listed in the “also receiving votes” section alongside some notable names like Riq Woolen, Darius Slay Jr., DaRon Bland and others.
If Porter is able to pick up where he left off as a rookie, he is on the trajectory to be a top-10, or maybe even top-5 corner in the not-too-distant future.
