Calvin Austin III Quick To Impress With His Speed – Now He Must Do It When It Counts

Related Topics: Calvin Austin

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin III is going into his third season, and it’s high time for him to step up. He has repeatedly impressed people with his speed, including new teammates, but he already knows being fast is not enough. Even considering he spent his rookie season on the Reserve/Injured List, his highlight reel is disappointingly short.

The Steelers used a fourth-round pick on Calvin Austin III out of Memphis in 2022. Impressed by his 4.32-second 40 time, they overlooked his small frame and saw in him a playmaker. So far, he has one major play to date, a 72-yard touchdown early last season.
