Joey Porter Jr. has taken plenty of criticism for the plenty of lumps he’s shown on the field. He’s not yet been able to ascend his game to the next height of a Pro Bowler and true No. 1 corner status. So far, this year has been defined by injury, missing three games with a hamstring injury, and the two penalties he incurred during Week 7’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
But there’s hope. One play from that game showed why. This deep ball incompletion to Tee Higgins down the sideline. In tight man coverage, Porter turned and ran with Higgins downfield.
