As we’ve done in previous years, we’re taking a look at those Pittsburgh Steelers under futures contracts for the 2024 offseason. The ones who spent most if not the entire year on the practice squad and what we can expect from them during training camp (hopefully) into the regular season.
Dez Fitzpatrick/WR Louisville – 6016, 208 lbs.
Fitzpatrick entered 2023 Steelers’ training camp without much fanfare, a young receiver buried on the depth chart. In the summer, WR Hakeem Butler was the talk of the town after a strong spring league showing. By the end, Butler had become lost in the shuffle after an uneventful summer and Fitzpatrick had carved out a niche on the team.
