Joey Porter Jr. Already Becoming One Of The AFC North’s Most Battle-Tested Corners

No, Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. hasn’t played a ton of football this season. The Steelers, right or wrong, took their time in getting him substantial snaps. That’s one-part smart cautiousness, one-part typical stubbornness. But even halfway through his first NFL season, Porter is being put in situations not many corners around the AFC North, especially for a rookie, find themselves in.

As outlined by analyst Brett Kollmann, Porter is more than holding his own despite being pressed and isolated nearly as much as anyone else in the division. He shared those numbers in a Twitter conversation Saturday afternoon.
