Ben Roethlisberger Explains Why He Targets Ray-Ray McCloud So Often

If you had Ray-Ray McCloud pegged as a top-five leader in Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2021 targets, put your hand down, you liar. But with two games to play, McCloud has 47 targets this season, fifth most on the team. Of course, it has plenty to do with JuJu Smith-Schuster’s season-ending shoulder injury suffered early in the year. But with eight targets in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, McCloud has been an integral part of the offense time and time again.

Speaking to reporters after today’s game, Ben Roethlisberger explained why.

“Ray-Ray’s very shifty and quick,” he said in audio provided by the team.
