Pittsburgh Steelers second-year CB Joey Porter Jr. played coy when asked about their plans in coverage. The former second-round pick spent the second half of his rookie season covering opponents’ top receivers, but would not say the Steelers planned to do that again this season.
Well, as he admitted following Sunday’s win over the Atlanta Falcons, Porter did that against WR Drake London. And he was pretty pleased with the outcome, as you might imagine. London, the former top-10 pick, finished the game with just two catches for 15 yards on three targets. The Steelers and Porter held him to without a reception in the second half.
