When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded up in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Penn State associate head coach/cornerbacks coach Terry Smith’s anticipation heightened.
Could they be going up to get Joey…
The Joey Porter Jr.-Steelers dots were so easy to discern they could have been their own Connect Four game.
Alas for Penn State cornerback, the Steelers traded from pick 17 to 14 to select Georgia left tackle Broderick Jones. The disappointment those in the Porter camp felt evaporated the next night when the Steelers drafted Porter with the first pick in the second round.
