Why Steelers' Joey Porter Jr. vs George Pickens Round 2 is the Biggest Training Camp Battle to Watch

Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers report to training camp Wednesday, and Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders think the biggest camp battle isn't about who will start at a position. Instead, it will be a rematch of Joey Porter Jr. and George Pickens as they match up in one-on-one battles all camp. Last year, Pickens got the best of Porter during the cornerback's rookie season. But Porter is excited for the chance to prove he's better, and the two players clashing might be a great test for the Steelers to figure out if either, or both, could become elite.

Also, Calvin Austin says Russell Wilson compared him to Tyler Lockett recently. But is that a good comparison with their skillsets? And what could be expected of the slot cornerback battle with Cameron Sutton suspended for the first eight games?
