James Washington may struggle to see the field as he enters the final year of his rookie contract for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021—it has even been intimated that Ray-Ray McCloud could get on the field some more this year for work in the slot—but at least he can take solace in the fact that he is the only member of the Steelers, past or present, to make ESPN’s list of the top 50 greatest college wide receivers over the past 50 years.
That’s right. Not Santonio Holmes or Plaxico Burress, a pair of Steelers’ first-round draft picks at the position.
