Some view trash talk as unnecessary in professional sports, but it can provide a tangible benefit to those who do it properly. Joey Porter Jr. had it down to a science against Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy, and he plans to keep it going every chance he gets.
“That’s my game plan. I like to trash-talk, so any opportunity I could get to get under a guy’s skin, I’m gonna do that for sure,” Porter said via the Steelers’ YouTube. “I feel like it was working. I know he knows it was working. So I’m gonna keep doing that every time, especially when I see him again.
