Ben Roethlisberger Wants To See How Chase Claypool Responds ‘Now That People Are Going To Be Watching Him’

The Pittsburgh Steelers feel as though they have a budding star in their midst in Chase Claypool, but that that is taking them by surprise. There is a reason that they drafted him in the top 50 this year, after all. Following his big game against the Philadelphia Eagles, however, the rest of the league will be paying attention to him as well.

Claypool isn’t the first big and fast wide receiver to sort of take the league by storm as a rookie for the Steelers. Martavis Bryant was inactive the first six games of his rookie season, but once he got on the field, he came out like gangbusters, scoring six touchdowns in his first four games—though he would only add two more over the final six weeks.
