CBS Sports put out their Top 100 players of 2026 and two Pittsburgh Steelers made the cut. Defensive tackle Cameron Heyward checked in at No. 39 and edge defender T.J. Watt landed all the way down at No. 88. We can debate them and their placement but there are two players who definitely should have been on on the list who Pete Prisco missed the mark on.
First and foremost, it's cornerback Joey Porter Jr. Porter allowed a 47.8 percent completion percentage when targeted in coverage, which was sixth-best in the NFL last season. He also extended his streak of 1,476 snaps in man coverage without allowing a touchdown. This goes all the way back to Week Eight of his rookie season in 2023. Porter Jr. allowed only 29 receptions all season.
Next up is center Zach Frazier. He was an absolute wall last season and was the 8th highest-graded center in the NFL last season. He allowed only one sack and just three quarterback hits in 2025. His pass-blocking grade was good enough for fifth-best in the league.
We could probably make a case that kicker Chris Boswell deserves to be there as well and it's wild not seeing a future Hall of Famer like Aaron Rodgers not among the 100 best players in the league.
