Chase Claypool has been named to the Pro Football Writer’s of America All-Rookie Team. He was one of two receivers selected, joining Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson.
A second round pick and first selection by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2020 draft, Claypool had one of the best rookie seasons in Steelers’ history. He finished the season with 62 receptions for 873 yards and nine receiving scores, while adding two more rushing touchdowns. His receptions are a franchise-best for a Steelers’ rookie, breaking Troy Edwards’ mark set in 1999. And his 11 total touchdowns are tied for the most by a Steelers’ rookie, joining Franco Harris and Louis Lipps.
