Though most of the focus with rookie CB Joey Porter Jr. has been about what he’s done on the field, especially as he’s 24 hours away from making his NFL debut, there was one off-field story with him during training camp. A back-and-forth between Porter Jr. and former Cincinnati Bengals’ LB Vontaze Burfict.
It all started when Porter Jr. was asked by NFL Network to name one player he couldn’t stand growing up. A Pittsburgher whose dad played and coached for the Steelers, the latter in the height of the Burfict’s football career, Porter Jr. said Burfict was the played he hated most.
