‘He Suffocates On The Outside’: The Ringer’s Benjamin Solak Impressed With Joey Porter Jr.’s Ascension At CB

The Pittsburgh Steelers brought along rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. slower than many would have liked, but that approach seems to be working out so far for the second-round pick out of Penn State.

Since stepping into the lineup full-time in Week Seven coming out of the bye week against the Los Angeles Rams, Porter has been an impressive young cornerback for the Black and Gold, taking on the top matchups weekly and more than holding his own.

Currently, Porter grades out at a 70.9 from Pro Football Focus, including a a 76.4 overall in coverage.
