All offseason, rumors have flown around about the Pittsburgh Steelers potentially trading for a wide receiver. Since they jettisoned Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, the Steelers have had a massive hole at receiver. George Pickens should be the No. 1 guy, but it’s uncertain how the depth chart will shake out beyond that. The Steelers signed multiple veteran players to compete for the No. 2 spot, but perhaps another homegrown player will seize the opportunity. According to Pickens, Calvin Austin III is a name fans should keep an eye on.
In an interview via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after a recent practice, Pickens was asked how he feels seeing Austin healthy and stepping up in the receiver room.
