Joey Porter Jr. Named One Of Biggest Steals From 2023 Draft: ‘Quickly Developing Into A Lockdown Corner’

While the Pittsburgh Steelers have historically been a team known for drafting and developing talent, one position where they’ve struggled to find talent at in the draft is cornerback. That appears to have changed this year. The team drafted cornerback Joey Porter Jr. with the first pick in the second round, and since taking on a larger role in Pittsburgh’s defense, he’s developed into the team’s top option at cornerback. Former NFL executive Jeff Diamond, who won Executive of the Year in 1999 as the Minnesota Vikings’ general manager, named Porter one of the biggest steals thus far in the 2023 NFL Draft.
