As a Penn State Nittany Lion, Joey Porter Jr. played alongside current Dallas Cowboy Micah Parsons, and he had an unforgettable experience while playing video games with him.
The cornerback appeared on the Rich Eisen show to recall a story of him and the linebacker playing Madden NFL:
"That dude's [Micah Parsons] a wild guy. There's a lot. There's a lot of stories about him. I'll just say the first the first day I got here, he had a dog and the dog was vicious. I mean, like, nobody could be around his dog but him. And I'm at his house, and I'm playing Madden.
According to Porter, he had the game won when Parsons resorted to a rather drastic measure:

"And I'm 'bout to win the game. And he got so mad that he sicced his dog on me. So I couldn't even kick the field goal to win the game and I ended up losing and I felt like this dude is crazy.
"I think Brutus. That was his dog's name. That's a wild name and he just started whispering into the ear in his Brutus just looked at me growling and stuff. I'm like, get your dog man."
No matter where he lands, when Porter and Parsons share the field, even if on opposing teams, expect hilarity to abound.
How did Joey Porter Jr. fare in college, and which teams could draft him?
The son of famed Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Sr., Joey Porter Jr. played sparingly in his rookie season, recording only three tackles (two solo). He broke out as a sophomore, recording 34 tackles (25 solo), a sack, and four pass deflections.
As a junior, Joey had a career-high 51 tackles (40 solo) and also recorded his first forced fumble and interception.
One possible suitor for Porter could be the Baltimore Ravens, who currently have only three safeties under contract, including only one strong safety. Picking him will give the perennial AFC North contenders some much-needed depth at that position. The Carolina Panthers are also an option, as they too have an abundance of free safeties but just one strong safety - Vonn Bell.
