You know him, you've loved him, and now you can't wait to see Joey Porter Jr. dawn the black and gold that his father wore as Super Bowl champion and franchise player for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

But the Steelers didn't draft Porter Jr. because he's a good story and the son of a legend, they invested what in any other year is a first round pick, when selecting him at 32nd overall. 

Typically, it's the background of players that fan's aren't as keen on in the pre-draft process, but in this case it almost seems as if we have forgotten about the player that Porter Jr. is. Well, today I'm here to remind you. 

Here is my full evaluation on Joey Porter Jr. based solely on film study:

One Liner:

A lengthy press corner who isn’t an elite athlete but has the makings to be a dominant press corner at the next level.

Pros:

• Created player when it comes to his frame.
• Excellent height, athletic musculature, arm length that rivals offensive tackles
• Father was a Super Bowl Champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers
• Tons of on ball, press alignment, showing he’s ready to be an NFL man to man corner
• Very aware with noticeable football instincts and spatial awareness
• Arm length and hip drop makes him a plus one in the run fit
• Tight coverage on slants and routes that cross his face
• Absolutely strapped the Purdue Wr corps, breaking up everything in sight

Cons:

• Flat footed at the line of scrimmage too often, feet should mirror his hands
• Let’s wideouts garner free releases despite being in their grill. Needs to use his hands more often especially when in traditional press coverage
• Way too grabby downfield
• Can become out of control in his breaks, lacking the feet to stop on a dime
• Good speed but not elite in his ability to open up and chase in breakers
• Appreciate the pass breakups but would like to see more end up going the other way

Summary:

Porter Jr. Is a dominant press corner that can play the Pocket of pass catchers and mirror and match both underneath and over the top. He isn’t silky smooth or effortlessly fast, but his physicality, length, and instincts have the makings of a suitable NFL corner for years to come.

Grade:

6.49 (good starter within two years, top 20 pick) 

Pittsburgh knows the person and they know the player and now you do to. Porter Jr. will compete for a starting role immediately, making the Steelers upcoming season even more enticing. So here's to hoping that he can produce in Pittsburgh for the duration of his NFL career.
