With the 2025 regular season in the books, NFL awards are beginning to unfold. While the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't have many players who warranted All-Pro consideration this year, one underrated (and often criticized) defender just made a prestigious list.

On Thursday, PFSN announced its 2025 First-Team All-Pro selections. On the defensive side of the ball, Joey Porter Jr. was one of three cornerbacks named to the First-Team All-Pro defense. Porter joins Eagles' Quinyon Mitchell and Bengals' DJ Turner II.

Porter, a third-year cornerback and 32nd overall pick from the 2023 NFL Draft, found a way to bounce back from a sophomore slump in 2024.
