Like his father, Joey Porter Jr. isn’t lacking confidence in himself. Though he’s only entering his second year and has only been a starter for half a season, Porter believes he’s the best cornerback in football.

“Me, for sure,” he said per The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly when asked who the top corner in the game was.

At the least, Porter is certainly the best cornerback on his team. After falling to the second round in the 2023 NFL Draft, Porter came into his rookie season with a chip on his shoulder. Pittsburgh slow-played his initial role, only utilizing him in obvious passing situations, but ramped him up when they needed to.
