It's April 5th. NFL News Today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Corey, with the story. Pittsburgh Steelers Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. put up one of the elite seasons at his spot in 2025. In 524 coverage snaps, he gave up just 32 catches on 64 targets, zero touchdowns allowed, and held quarterbacks, to a passer rating of 61.5, straight from next-gen stats. Earlier this year, Porter cut his penalties way down from 2024 levels, logging only 5 flags that cost about 50 yards total. He aired out his frustration on the blueprint podcast, calling out critics who ding him for those penalties, and question if he's top 5 material. Porter straight up said, it's wild to knock him off that list over 50 yards and flags when his coverage numbers screamed shut down corner. Bottom line, his production makes a strong case. He's right there among the best, and the disrespect feels overblown as the Steelers gear
up for next. Season.
