Patrick Peterson Reveals Joey Porter Jr. Received First-Teams Reps In OTAs Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said minutes after the franchise drafted cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to open the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft that there would be “no redshirts” for Porter entering the NFL.

Austin and the Steelers are putting those words into actions during Organized Team Activities with Porter. According to veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson, Porter received some first-team defensive reps on Thursday during OTAs at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, according to a tweet from ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.
