?: In Bucky Brooks’ first mock draft of the 2023 NFL Draft season, the Steelers draft a familiar cornerback out of Penn State. Yes, Joey Porter Jr. ends up landing with the Steelers in this mock draft at 17. Brooks gave his explanation for the pick in the article:
“Adding a long, rangy cover corner with A+ tackling skills helps the Steelers match up with the explosive offenses in the AFC. And yes, it’s a family affair with Joey Porter‘s son hitting Pittsburgh,” Brooks wrote.
This has become the mock draft pick for the Steelers thus far in the period. It has all the natural tendencies of the Steelers to pick Porter, but the question will be if he gets to 17.
