Joey Porter Jr. still has a pair of Jalen Ramsey’s game-worn cleats that were given to him at the Pro Bowl. Seven years later, they’re lining up next to each other on the Steelers’ defense.
“When he was a Pro Bowler, my dad was a coach one year. And I was in high school, and he gave me a pair of his cleats. So I always remember that,” Porter said via WTAJ News’ YouTube. “We always had a good little connection since then. So it’s kinda crazy. It’s a full-circle moment that I get to line up beside him now.
