After missing his entire rookie season with a foot injury that ultimately required surgery, it would have been understandable if second-year Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III had modest expectations for his second NFL season — and first season on the field.
Instead, Austin set his expectations for his first foray into the NFL rather high.
Appearing on the ESPN 92.9 FM radio show in Memphis on Thursday with hosts Jason Smith and John Martin, Austin said that while he has high expectations for himself, he is proud he’s been able to get on the field and gain experience, and that hopefully when his first full season in the NFL is over, he can look back and say he reached those expectations.
