Pair Of Steelers Named To The Athletic’s All-Rookie Team

The awards and accolades continue to roll in for Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr.

One day after being named to the Pro Football Writers of America’s All-Rookie team, Porter was named to The Athletic’s All-Rookie team at the cornerback position, adding to his impressive rookie season.

Porter joined Seattle rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon and Chicago rookie cornerback Tyrique Stevenson on the All-Rookie team compiled by staff at The Athletic Wednesday morning.

The 32nd overall pick and first selection in the second round in the 2023 NFL Draft, Porter put together a rather eye-opening season for the Steelers, especially after stepping into the starting lineup in Week Eight against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
