07/17/22 - CB *Joey Porter Jr., Jr/2023, Penn State

Penn State has one of the highest-upside cornerbacks in the country returning for the 2022 season, leading the way for a room with plenty of potential. The Nittany Lions lost Tariq Castro-Fields to the 2022 NFL Draft but still return major contributors at the team's three starting spots. Those starters - to go with veteran depth - should lead to good coverage on the outside this year. Let's take a look at how Penn State's cornerback depth chart could shake out to start the season. Projected starters: Redshirt juniors Joey Porter Jr. and Daequan Hardy, sophomore Kalen King. The team's starters are where most of the upside lies, with the chance to have two No. 1-type cornerbacks on the outside and a high level veteran in the slot when the team moves to nickel packages. The Nittany Lions have good size on the outside and the perfect skillset in the slot.

Porter has excellent size at 6-foot-2, 198 pounds and uses it all when he's in man coverage. He's an excellent athlete who can turn and run with faster receivers, but has shown enough refinement to stick with technicians who use their route running to create space in the middle of the field. The redshirt junior can essentially match up with any receiver in the country and give them a difficult time, but he isn't without flaws. He's a physical cornerback, which helps against stronger opponents, but it doesn't always work in his favor. Porter can get too aggressive with his hands in coverage, getting too many pass interference and holding calls against him. That will be the primary point of improvement for him this season as he looks to take the next step in his progression. - Centre Times
