Based on their own draft boards, the Pittsburgh Steelers believe that they got (at least) two first-round talents during the 2023 NFL Draft. Of course it’s much easier to do that when you have the top pick of the second round, which is where they selected Penn State cornerback Joey Porter Jr., but nevertheless, the point is that he’s here.
The question is when he’ll play. And the Steelers don’t have an answer for that yet, but they know have to find it. “I don’t know when Joey’s time is gonna be, but when it comes, I think we’ll know”, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin told reporters yesterday when asked what he will look for in Porter to know when they are ready to play, via the team’s website.
