Joey Porter Jr.’s name says plenty without the type of brash nickname that the Jets’ Sauce Gardner brought into the NFL.
Gardner set a new bar for rookie cornerbacks by making First-Team All-Pro last season and finishing 2022 as the top-ranked lockdown defender by Pro Football Focus after he was selected No. 4-overall by the Jets.“Now a lot of organizations like the long, lanky corner that can run,” Porter said Thursday at the NFL combine. “I feel like I fit that bill and can be physical, too. People say our game is similar.
The hard-hitting trash-talker was dubbed “the most feared player in football” in a 2006 Sports Illustrated cover story — after his comparisons to a blood-thirsty vampire stole the show at the previous Super Bowl. So, imagine Porter’s disappointment when both parents sat him down after the 2021 season to delay the childhood dream that grew after Steelers practices when he got a chance to do one-on-one drills against a young Antonio Brown.
What position is he in? Porter Jr. is battling Illinois’ Devon Witherspoon and Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez to be the first cornerback drafted.None of them are expected to go as high as the Texans’ Derek Stingley Jr. and Gardner did last season , which could be a break for the Giants, who hold the No. 25 pick and might be in the market for a starting corner now that veteran stopgap Fabian Moreau is headed to free agency.
