Naming the Pittsburgh Steelers starter that needs to take the biggest jump in order for the team to reach their goals in 2025

The Pittsburgh Steelers wasted no time this offseason when it came to overhauling their CB room. 

Brandin Echols, Darius Slay, and most recently, Jalen Ramsey, all serve as critical additions to the room. 

But the man who brings it all together, who the team needs to break out in year three, has been there all along. 

Joey Porter Jr. needs to take big jump in 2025

The Steelers went into this offseason with the idea of getting back to being dominant on defense. It's why they acquired Slay and Ramsey at corner, used three of their first four picks in the front seven and are in the process of signing T.J. Watt. 

But to truly be an elite defense, they need a lockdown corner. I'm not talking about a good corner, I'm talking about, 'Hey Joey, go guard Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins and make Joe Burrow forget they exist.'

I think Porter Jr. is capable of that. He's got all the talent and measurables. He just has to be better in his technique. Less use of the hands, more confident in his feet and hips, and more experienced in his decision-making.
