Joey Porter Jr.: Proving His Worth

0:00On April 6, Steele's cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is speaking out after three years in the league, saying he is not getting the respect he deserves. He believes he has been a top five cornerback, right from his rookie season. His stats back that up would seem struggling to complete passes when targeting him. Opposing quarterbacks have posted a low completion rate against Porter, which stands out as a big positive. That kind of coverage disrupts offenses and shows his skill on the field. Fans and analysts sometimes overlook him because of the penalties he racked up during his second season. Porter feels that one rough year painted an unfair picture of his overall game. He laid this all out recently on the Blueprint podcast, pushing back on the criticism. Porter wants credit for consistent shutdown work that helps the Steele's defense. As Pittsburgh builds for next season, expect Porter to keep proving his point with more lockdown plays on the boundary. NFL News Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters on Game Day.
