‘We Did Not Like That Guy At All:’ Joey Porter Jr. Grew Up Hating Vontaze Burfict

There’s no question that, out of the current Pittsburgh Steelers players, CB Joey Porter Jr. has the most unique perspective on the organization. He spent a lot of formative years around the Steelers thanks to his father, Joey Porter. That meant he was already familiar with members of the staff, including head coach Mike Tomlin.

It also meant that Porter grew up not only watching Pittsburgh closely but also keeping an eye on the team’s AFC North rivals. When Porter joined Daniel Jeremiah and James Palmer on NFL Network’s Inside Training Camp Live, he was asked about a player he could not stand.
