Casserly Explains Possible Instant Impact Areas For Rookie Claypool With Steelers

Will rookie Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool be able to make an instant impact with the team in 2020 and if so, how? To hear Claypool talk recently, the Notre Dame product believes he’ll be able to make an instant impact as a rookie as a red zone threat in addition to playing some on special teams. Former NFL general manager Charley Casserly, however, believes Claypool is primed to make an instant impact as a rookie in other ways.

“Chase Claypool, wide receiver out of Notre Dame, now what they’re [the Steelers] getting with him in their eyes is a size, deep receiver,” Casserly said on the NFL Network a few days ago.
