2024 Stock Watch – WR Calvin Austin III

Related Topics: George Pickens

Player: WR Calvin Austin III

Stock Value: Down

Reasoning: The Pittsburgh Steelers invested a third-round draft pick in WR Roman Wilson, who may be an immediate starter. Such an observation is as much a comment on the rest of the wide receiver room as it is Wilson. The most immediate loser following the Wilson selection is Calvin Austin III, otherwise lightly penciled into the starting lineup. While he still has punt return work, by the start of the season, he may not have an offensive role.

I struggle to envision any plausible and acceptable scenario in which the Steelers entered the 2024 regular season with Calvin Austin III as their number two wide receiver behind George Pickens.
