Steelers’ DBs Coach Outlines How He’ll Make Joey Porter Jr. Better

Gerald Alexander is in Pittsburgh to coach the entire Steelers’ secondary. Still, Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay are vets who don’t need many pointers. Give them a good game plan and freedom to make plays and they’ll deliver. Alexander’s most important moldable piece if third-year cornerback Joey Porter Jr., entering a big year where he could soar as a lockdown corner or falter to muddy his future.

“Obviously, just reflecting on some of the things that he had last year, a lot of it had to do with the penalties,” Alexander said in a training camp interview with The Trib’s Tim Benz, who aired the discussion Thursday.
