During the 2023 NFL Draft, Joey Porter Jr.’s drop was rather precipitous. Once thought to be the best cornerback in the class, Porter Jr. watched as other cornerbacks were drafted in Round 1, and he was waiting until Round 2.
Nonetheless, with the 32nd overall pick the Steelers took Porter with their first pick in the 2nd Round, and it caused many fans to wonder what exactly happened which cased him to fall the way he did.
- Was it due to his testing times at the NFL Scouting Combine?
- Lack of splash plays?
