Summary
Joey Porter Jr. is poised to break through in 2026, earning his first All-Pro nod after a stellar 2025 season where he led the league in forcing incompletions and boasted the longest active touchdown-less streak among cornerbacks. Despite being snubbed by the AP last year — while stars like Surtain II and Stingley Jr. got votes — Porter’s elite coverage grades and penalty-free play (down from a league-high in 2024) prove he’s been overlooked. With a revamped Steelers defense behind him and even Richard Sherman praising his play, Porter Jr. could finally end the franchise’s 32-year drought for a first-team All-Pro cornerback — and he’s ready to claim his due.
