A former high school track star who won the Iowa state 400-meters championship as a junior, Porter (6'3/195) spent most of his first three of his six collegiate seasons as a receiver who saw sparse playing time before switching sides to play cornerback. Despite only starting seven games, he was extremely productive on a per-play basis, registering three interceptions and two PBU on just 17 targets. His inexperience on the defensive side of the ball was evident in his unsightly 20.8% missed tackle rate. Long and rangy frame helps him stay in phase downfield and rarely gets beat. His .34 yards allowed per coverage snap and 3.7 NFL passer rating allowed are both absurd marks and indicative of Porter’s standout 2024 campaign. Verified his freaky traits with a 9.99 Relative Athletic Score that blew away the rest of the CB group. He does an excellent job turning his head around and locating the ball downfield, as he did on a textbook interception against Texas Tech, showing his wide receiver caliber hands. A long and fleet athlete who ramps up to speed quickly which allows him to catch up when in a trailing position. Demonstrates a good feel for the position, as he smartly peeled off a deep route vs. Miami to deflect a pass into an interception. Although he’s an older prospect who has to adjust to the rigors of the position, Porter has the right tools to work with to become a productive NFL CB2. New Raiders coach Pete Carroll apparently still likes taller corners.
