Mike Tomlin likes to say a player needs no endorsement from him. But anytime Mel Blount is endorsing a player, it’s sure to turn heads. Blount joined 93.7 The Fan’s Cook & Joe Show Wednesday and praised the team’s selection of CB Joey Porter Jr., a player with a similar body type that Blount had.
“I can tell you this,” Blount quipped to hosts Ron Cook and Joe Starkey. “If he got any of his dad’s intensity and desire, he’s going to be ok.”
Pittsburgh has loved their bloodlines throughout the past several draft cycles.
