Scouting Report: Strengths
- His competitiveness and knack for high-pointing the ball allow him to play bigger than his size.
- Doesn't possess elite breakaway speed, but is fast enough to gain yardage in chunks when Porter finds a seam.
- Quick feet with good vision to pick through defenses. Porter has solid hands and body control and is a reliable receiver.
- He’s patient, letting blocks develop then accelerating. He runs with a good forward lean and consistently falls forward.
- Porter brings a nice blend of size, speed and power. His best attribute is his relentlessness; he consistently thrashes through tacklers to turn minimal gains into long ones.
- Very physical runner; keeps his legs churning on contact. Rarely goes down with the first hit. Lowers shoulder into defenders and shows pure determination with natural running skills to break free and stiff-arm and spin move to dodge tacklers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Porter has constantly ran a limited route tree.
- His playing speed is less than elite. He won’t run past defenders like Porter did at the college level.
- Porter has a tendency to seek out contact rather than avoid it. He’s not particularly creative as a runner, going north-south and trying to power through tacklers at the second level.
