None of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receivers competing for a starting role are going to win it in June. Heck, none of them may emerge victorious if the team trades for a big name prior to Week 1. But based on what he’s seen through OTAs and minicamp, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo might give the slight edge to Van Jefferson.
“Van Jefferson looks the part,” he said on 93.7 The Fan Thursday evening. “In 2021, he had I think 800 yards and six touchdowns. He hasn’t been that guy since.”
Jefferson is one of several players who followed OC Arthur Smith over from Atlanta, signing a one-year deal with the Steelers on March 18.
