You hear it often from young players: the game has slowed down for them.
For Pittsburgh Steelers’ third-year wide receiver Calvin Austin III, he has reached that point.
Coming off of his first true season in the NFL after missing his entire rookie season with a foot injury, Austin enters Year 3 ready to prove himself in a new offense and take advantage of the opportunity in front of him in the wide receiver room, where the Steelers have some questions.
To do that, Austin will have to take a step forward as a route runner, becoming a dependable receiver.
