The Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster on their website lists second-year wide receiver Calvin Austin III at 5’9”, 162 pounds. While I don’t suspect he’s grown any, he did tell Brian Batko earlier this offseason that he’s put on muscle, which, as the reporter writes, “he didn’t think was possible”, lowering his body fat to under five percent.

He is reportedly up to 170 pounds, which, for the record, would still tie rookie college free agent wide receiver and return specialist Jordan Byrd as the lightest listed weight on the roster. The receiver also told Batko he expects he’ll probably sweat a lot of that weight off during camp.
