Steelers' Joey Porter Jr. excluded from top 10 cornerbacks list

Joey Porter Jr. of the Pittsburgh Steelers has been left out of ESPN’s top 10 cornerbacks rankings as training camps approach. The rankings, based on input from coaches and front office personnel, do not include Porter despite his strong performance metrics, such as allowing a low passer rating and having the best catch rate over expected among listed players. He was recognized as an honorable mention, and a defensive coach commented on his impact on pass defense. Porter is entering the final year of his rookie contract, with expectations for a lucrative extension ahead.
