2019 NFL Draft Player Profile: WR Antoine Wesley

The Pittsburgh Steelers have traded star wide receiver Antonio Brown. This move opens up the ‘X’ position that needs filled via the 2019 offseason. The addition of Donte Moncrief is insurance for the position, but unlikely the definite solidifier. The downfield, heroic, splash touchdown plays, along with the reliability on third downs must be supplemented. An under the radar player who must be put in the spotlight as a potential AB replacement is Antoine Wesley.
