With the 32nd pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Penn State cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
The 32nd pick came via the team’s trade with the Chicago Bears, sending them WR Chase Claypool. Essentially, it’s trading Claypool for Porter.
Porter, a long corner with 34-inch arms, is considered one of the best press cornerbacks in the class. He fills an immediate need and was in contention to be Pittsburgh’s pick at #17. Though he picked off just one career pass, he made plays on the football with 11 pass deflections last season.
