Entering the season, a big question mark was who would be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ No. 2 wide receiver behind George Pickens. The answer has been revealed, and it is Calvin Austin III. Austin has pretty decent stats this year, catching 32 passes for 517 yards and four touchdowns.

With Pickens having been out these last three games, Austin has taken on a bigger role, catching 10 passes for 134 yards. While those aren’t “Wow!” numbers, they have been good as Austin is clearly the most dynamic wide receiver on the roster without Pickens and has shown big-play ability.
