Welcome to The Terrible Take, a daily segment telling Steelers Nation what's on our mind. I'm Alex

Kizora. How good is cornerback Joey Porter, Jr.

It's worth taking a step back to examine the answer. Usually that comes up with a negative

connotation. A player is overrated, but here it might work the other way. The penalties are the

biggest knock on him and there is no question

when it's bad, boy, is it bad? Porter must learn to play cleaner, trust himself when the ball's in the

air, and not panic like he's prone to. Avoiding stacking bad penalties as have become common with

Porter is critical. But what else is there to knock?

I don't mean to hand-wave the penalties away, but where else can he get better?

Yes, I'm sure there are small technical things to work on.

He is not a finished product.

But still, Porter is a number one corner on Pittsburgh's roster who routinely matches up against number one wideouts, a tough draw in a modern NFL.

Per hour charting, Porter's allowed just one touchdown in two years, not giving up a single score in 2024.

He can play man, his zone coverage has improved, and his tackling is a lot

better now than it was coming out of Penn State. More interceptions would be nice, sure. Porter just

does not seem like a ballhawk. Wasn't in college, it's not now. I can live with that. I agree

Porter did not take the leap as a sophomore. I hoped he would, and is not in the top

10 cornerback club, but I wonder how far off he is, and are the penalties overshadowing everything

else impressive about his game? Be sure to follow us at Steelersdepo.com and check out episodes
