‘People Were Scared To Throw My Way:’ Joey Porter Jr. Explains Lack Of College INTs

Pittsburgh Steelers second-round pick, cornerback Joey Porter Jr., was one of the more highly rated prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft and even invited to attend the draft. However, one of the few knocks against him was his lack of ball production with only one interception throughout his collegiate career. Pittsburgh still thought highly enough of him to draft him at pick No. 32, and Porter himself isn’t too concerned about the lack of ball production.

Yesterday, Porter joined Mark Madden on 105.9 The X and said he believes his low ball production was tied to volume — or lack thereof.
