Joey Porter Jr., son of former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Porter Sr., was selected by the Steelers in the second round of the NFL draft. The younger Porter, a cornerback from Penn State, recognizes that he will always be compared to and associated with his father, but is determined to form his own legacy with the team. Despite speculation that the Steelers would trade the pick, they stayed put and selected Porter with the first pick of the second round. Porter had 11 pass breakups in 10 games last season and was named first-team all-Big Ten and second-team AP all-American.
