Joey Porter Jr. shut down just about every top receiver the league threw his way two years ago in his rookie season. The only receiver that got the best of him was DK Metcalf, and through a twist of fate, the two are now teammates on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Porter may never get another shot to redeem his rookie-season showing in an actual game, but he will get plenty of reps against him in practice.
It sounds like nothing has changed with how challenging it is to cover Metcalf.
“Freak of nature,” Porter said via The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo on X.
