Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin III was drafted in 2021 but, due to injury, was not able to make his debut until Week One of the 2023 season. That meant that his first real NFL game action came against the vaunted San Francisco 49ers defense, and that game was not good for Austin or the Steelers.
The Steelers had a nightmare game that day, losing to the 49ers 30-7, and Austin did not fare much better, catching six passes for 37 yards. However, Austin entered that game excited and said it was a dream come true for him to finally be able to achieve his lifelong dream of playing in the NFL.
