Next up on our scouting report series ahead of the 2023 NFL draft is Penn State cornerback, Joey Porter Jr.
As you could probably figure out solely off the name, Porter is the son of former All-Pro pass rusher, Joey Porter Sr. And, despite playing different positions, it’s easy to see the type of genes that were passed down.
The most notable traits are the long arms Porter Jr. has that practically go down to his knees, and the aggressive nature in which he plays with, both of which we will discuss later in the article.
But make no mistake about it, Porter Jr. isn’t just some beneficiary of his father’s name. He’s more than deserving of all the hype leading into the draft.
The California native started a combined 31 games during his time at Penn State, and he made the most of it, earning All-American and All-conference honors during his tenure.
As always, this article is going to provide you with an educated opinion on the pros and cons of selecting the long and athletic Penn State cornerback.
Before we get started, a quick reminder that unless noted otherwise, all of the grades and individual rankings that are included are my own opinions.
Porter Jr. is currently my third-highest graded cornerback in a tremendously deep class, so let’s find out exactly what makes him such an intriguing prospect.
