"The coaches may want to mix up the rotation. No matter what unit you're on, you always have the potential to move up, just as you have the potential to move down," Porter said. "Every day is a job interview. This may be my opportunity to move up or move down, but I definitely believe that once I get my opportunity I'm going to take advantage of it."

"No one person is the missing piece. It definitely takes 11," Porter said. "You can't come in thinking everything's on your shoulders just because you're a high draft pick. At the same time ... the coaches may be expecting you, or the fans may be expecting you to come in and make an immediate impact. You never know what can happen. So even though the secondary wasn't where it should have been last year, you still have to learn from the older guys because they've been there."
