2023 second-round draft pick Joey Porter Jr. quickly emerged as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ top cornerback when he got an opportunity in 2023, and entering 2024, Porter is looking to build off the success he had in 2023. One of the things that made Porter so successful was the fact that he didn’t allow receivers to get open. PFF ranked the top-ten cornerbacks in the league by how often they allowed their matchup to get open, and Porter ranked No. 7 in the league with just a 28.8% open percentage.
Former Steelers CB Patrick Peterson cracked the list for allowing just a step of separation 25% of the time, putting him tied for tenth in that category alongside Marshon Lattimore, Derek Stingley Jr.
