The 2023 NFL Draft helped the Pittsburgh Steelers make good on the NFL slogan, ‘football is family’. Not only did they draft the brother of a player who is already on the roster, after having also done so last year, they have now drafted the son of one of their former players in Penn State cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
The upbringing Porter had is impossible to replicate, a fact that is by no means lost on him. The entire family is elated to stay in Pennsylvania and to have Junior work for the same team that gave Senior his opportunity in the league.
