Charlie Batch Explains Why Joey Porter Jr. Can Start Right Away

The cornerback position remains one of the bigger question marks looming over the 2023 Steelers. With the departure of stalwart Cam Sutton and the release of Arthur Maulet, there are going to be a lot of snaps up for grabs this season. One of the players looking to obtain as many of those snaps as possible is rookie CB Joey Porter Jr.

There’s been no lack of hype around the young Porter. He slipped to the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and the Steelers scooped him up with the 32nd overall pick, the one they received from the Chicago Bears in exchange for former WR Chase Claypool.
