In what is an extraordinarily deep class of cornerbacks this year, there’s one player who comes with built-in intangibles: Joey Porter Jr.
His father, Joey Porter, was a five-time All-Pro linebacker for the Steelers, Dolphins and Cardinals in his 13-year NFL career.Porter’s son, who was a star shutdown cornerback for Penn State and will be an almost-certain first-round pick in the upcoming draft, was 5 years old when his dad won Super Bowl XL with the Steelers in 2006 and he celebrated with him on the field.
Porter Jr. had his best season in 2022, allowing only 143 receiving yards in 10 games, earning first-team All-Big Ten honors while recording a career-high 11 pass breakups.His 3.7 opponents’ yards per attempt thrown in his direction was tied for fourth best in the FBS. “I would say I’m a physical press corner that’s going to get in your face and do my job and do it well,” Porter Jr. said. “I feel like I’m the best corner here.”
