Steelers Would Have Drafted Joey Porter Jr. ‘Much Earlier’ Than 32nd Overall, Mike Tomlin Says

After the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft ended, there was a ton of speculation and reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers would eventually trade out of the 32nd overall selection on day-two. While it has since been confirmed that the Steelers received numerous offers for that first pick in the second round, head coach Mike Tomlin again addressed the topic during his Thursday appearance on The rich Eisen Show.

“We were open to doing business, particularly if someone was interested in doing some drastic business, you know, if someone really wanted that pick,” Tomlin told Eisen.
