Joey Porter Jr. had a decent second NFL season, but one big thing held him back from being elite. He was the most penalized defensive back in the league, and those free yards and first downs put the defense in a tough spot at times. DB coach Gerald Alexander explained some of the teaching points that he is working through with Porter in an effort to clean those up.
“Joey does a great job. I think he’s one of the elite guys at the line of scrimmage as far as disrupting releases and getting hands on and stuff like that, and so it’s really post that,” Alexander said during mandatory minicamp on Post-Gazette Sports’ YouTube page.
