PITTSBURGH — New Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. will wear No. 24 in honor of former Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor, Taylor said on the Minus Three Podcast with Dave Dameshek on Tuesday.
Taylor played with Porter’s father with the Steelers from 2003-2006, winning Super Bowl XL together. Taylor said the elder Porter let him know about the honor.
“Peezy, Joey Porter Sr., was like, ‘He’s going to wear that 2-4 in honor of Uncle Ike,’” Taylor said. “I was like, ‘Oh, hell yeah. When I saw that this morning in the group text, I was like, that’s pretty damn cool.”
