Joey Porter Jr. was just named the Steelers’ rookie of the year, receiving the Joe Greene Great Performance Award earlier today. Drafted in the second round, he didn’t enter the starting lineup until Week Eight, but has been lights out since then shadowing some of the league’s top receivers with great success. He has played in all 16 games and has 42 total tackles, 32 solo tackles, 10 passes defensed, and one interception. He has allowed a passer rating of 72.4 when targeted. All of these numbers are great, but it doesn’t mean there haven’t been growing pains along the way.
