Pittsburgh Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. ran into a rash of penalties last year, but Dad doesn’t want him changing. Rather, he wants his son to keep playing his game, and that will take him through it.

The subject came up when Joey Porter Sr. appeared on Cameron Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast. Asked a series of questions for which the answer was either himself or his son, the topic moved to penalties.
