He played against him in a 2023 game, but matching up against him daily in practice, honing his craft rep after rep in Latrobe against a key piece of the defense is something Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver DK Metcalf is really enjoying.
That matchup? Against third-year cornerback Joey Porter Jr., of course.
So far in training camp the two have had some good battles. They’ve mixed it up physically. Porter has won some reps; Metcalf has won others. Iron sharpens iron, and Metcalf is embracing it.
“He’s a good competitor, man. He is a tough DB to go against,” Metcalf said of Porter, according to video via the Post-Gazette on YouTube.
