Pittsburgh Steelers Exit Meeting: WR Van Jefferson
Experience: 5 Years (1 with Steelers)
If you don’t like seeing Van Jefferson included with the starters in this Steelers exit meeting series, you’re not alone. But for all intents and purposes, the Steelers did start Jefferson all season. Although George Pickens missed three games, Jefferson played nearly as many snaps. And he played more snaps than any other wide receiver.
Signed to a one-year, Veteran Salary Benefit contract in the offseason, Van Jefferson felt like a placeholder. He was an experienced veteran of high pedigree who worked with new OC Arthur Smith.
