The Pittsburgh Steelers have not been great in the return game for some time now, for the most part, at least in the kick return game. They’ve had some positive seasons in punt returns, like Diontae Johnson’s year back there in 2019, and Antonio Brown was a good one early in his career.
But by and large, Ray-Ray McCloud’s play last season in both roles was a welcome change of pace for most fans. That doesn’t mean, however, that he won’t be challenged for that job, and you may have noticed second-year running back Anthony McFarland getting a lot of reps there in the preseason.
