Steelers coaches focus on Porter Jr. during Penn State pro day

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- It would seem like a match made in NFL draft heaven -- the local kid coming home to play for the Steelers, just like his father did.

There's just one little problem with the whole Joey Porter Jr. to the Steelers thing. They don't pick until 17th in the first round, and the Penn State cornerback could be long gone by then.

I asked Porter during Penn State's pro day Friday if he thinks he'll still be around for the 17th pick.

"I don't know," he said.
