The AFC North might host some of the fiercest rivalries in the NFL — but that hasn’t stopped Bengals All-Pro WR Ja’Marr Chase from paying respect to the revamped Steelers secondary.

Chase recently appeared on the July 11 edition of The Sitdown w/ Malik Wright, and was asked to create a top cornerback list. Browns CB Denzel Ward — who made his fourth Pro Bowl last season — was his first selection, but three Steelers rounded out the remaining spots.

“Joey Porter [Jr.’s] pretty smooth,” Chase said. “He’s just long. … It’s gonna be fun going against [Jalen] Ramsey and Darius Slay. I had an opportunity to go against [Slay] this last year and [Ramsey] my rookie year. That’s four. I’m gonna go with four.”

After winning Super Bowl LIX with the Eagles, Slay signed with the Steelers this past offseason — while Ramsey was part of a blockbuster trade to Pittsburgh from Miami just a few weeks ago

Chase knows what the majority of the NFL and Steelers fans already know — the 2025 Pittsburgh secondary is loaded. Taking a closer look at the fiercest cornerback trio in the league, Porter is one of the most underrated lockdown corners in the NFL, and there are thirteen Pro Bowls and four All-Pro selections between Ramsey and Slay.

The new Steelers cornerback trio will first meet Chase and the rest of the Bengals offense when they head to Cincinnati on Thursday Night Football in Week 7.
