Player: WR Van Jefferson
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: The veteran wide receiver continues to make steady strides during the Steelers’ training camp. At this point, most accept that Van Jefferson will be the team’s second receiver this season. He is the most experienced and accomplished, and also has prior experience with Arthur Smith. His recent performances on Chuck Noll Field only reinforce his position in the pecking order, right behind George Pickens. What that means for the team during the regular season, we will have to find out together.
All signs point to Van Jefferson as the Steelers’ second receiver this season, whether good or bad.
