? Steelers insider Mark Kaboly thinks tight end Pat Freiermuth’s contract could be around what Cole Kmet makes with the Chicago Bears – $12.5 million a year.
? Happy Birthday to Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr., born on July 26, 2000 in Bakersfield, California.
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com thinks Porter is on the brink of being an elite cornerback in the NFL.
“I think he’s the next coming. He’s the next guy that we’re going to talk about being a premiere cornerback in this league,” Brooks told Jeremiah. “Early on in the season, he got those No. 1 duties, and he didn’t shy away from the responsibility of being the No. 1 corner on that team. I love his length. I love his feistiness. And to me, he’s a much better player as a pro than he was as a prospect in college. And that is rare.”
Porter plays with a ton of swagger and tenacity. He’s just like his dad, former Steelers outside linebacker Joey Porter Sr.
“Maybe it’s the uniforms. But he had a toughness and grittiness that suits what he’s being asked to do in Pittsburgh,” he said.
