Among positional battles and starting spots, much of the conversation on outsiders the Pittsburgh Steelers could add revolves around wide receiver. Even cornerback, outside and slot, has received a little bit of chatter through the media cycle. But another problem position for the Steelers is an ace special teamer. Pittsburgh has some of those, starting with Miles Killebrew and others right behind in LB Tyler Matakevich. TE Connor Heyward and LB Mark Robinson will also be multi-phase players.
But the Steelers need a gunner. Someone who can be the first man downfield to cover punts, especially now that Pittsburgh has a consistent big-legged punter in Cameron Johnston.
