The passing game was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ top priority this offseason. To that end, they signed a potential starting quarterback and two starting offensive linemen via free agency, then drafted a quarterback in the first round and two wide receivers, in the second and fourth rounds, respectively.
The second of those two wide receivers would be the slippery Calvin Austin III out of Memphis, whom most believe would have been drafted earlier—perhaps much earlier—if he had a couple more inches on him, standing at just under 5’8” as it is.
Head coach Mike Tomlin talked about how Austin overcomes the limitations that might present itself due to his size, chalking it up to his speed.
