Things are coming up all Joey Porter Jr. lately.
Just a few days removed from his first career start in a 20-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at Acrisure Stadium and now holding a full-time starting role moving forward, the Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback moved into the top five of Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded rookies in the NFL through Week Eight.
Against the Jaguars, Porter was charged with just two receptions on four targets for 20 yards by PFF. He earned an overall grade of 73.3 against the Jaguars, playing a career-high 59 snaps, adding grades of 81.
