The news earlier this week that Frisman Jackson was replacing Ike Hilliard as Steelers wide receivers coach was something of a surprise given that the team hadn't announced Hilliard wouldn't be returning.
But there obviously was a disconnect on what was being expected of the Steelers receivers, who were plagued by drops in 2020 when the team led the NFL in dropped passes.
According to Pro Football Reference, the Steelers cleaned that up somewhat in 2021, seeing their dropped passes fall from 43 in 2020 to 33 in 2021. And the receivers improving in that facet were a big part of that, as Diontae Johnson went from leading the league with 13 drops to having just five in 2021, despite seeing 25 more targets than he had the previous year.
