Steelers' Jalen Ramsey or Joey Porter Jr. to Be New Leader in Secondary? | Ready for AFC North QBs?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner WPXI-TV.

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their leader in the secondary in Minkah Fitzpatrick, but will that role fall to Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., or DeShonn Elliott? Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner explore that question and how the Steelers continue to invest in the potential leadership of Porter for the future of their defense and franchise. Also, have the Steelers improved their defense enough to be ready for another season against the competitive quarterbacks of the AFC North? Last season ended with losses to Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens and Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. But considering they beat both teams in 2024, what do they need to improve against them in 2025?
