Chase Claypool: ‘I Definitely Thought The Transition Would Be A Little Bit Longer’ Going From College To Pro

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool is having himself a fine rookie season by any measure. Through 10 games, he is on pace to set franchise records, currently at 39 receptions for 559 yards and eight receiving touchdowns (10 from scrimmage).

A 6’4”, 234-pounder out of Notre Dame, the second-round pick has made at least one or two notable plays in just about every game that he has played so far, whether it’s a big explosive play, a touchdown, or a key conversion on a possession down.

Has it been a difficult transition from him going from the college level to the pros—especially considering the fact that he is Canadian, and thus played his high school ball outside of the usual recruiting areas?
