‘Important For A Young Guy’: Teryl Austin Glad To See Joey Porter Jr. Learning From Donte Jackson

As the established No. 1 cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Joey Porter Jr. is locked into his role.

He’s the alpha at the position, not only in Pittsburgh, but he believes in the NFL, too.

That doesn’t mean he’s not humble and isn’t willing to take some pointers from teammates, especially veteran cornerback Donte Jackson, who was acquired via trade this offseason and brings six years of experience as a starting NFL cornerback.

According to Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, Porter is eager to learn and wants to take in as much information as possible from Jackson.
