Though the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense struggled in the worst way, James Washington found a way to take a key step forward. He experienced the breakout sophomore campaign the team was hoping for, finishing with 44 catches for 735 yards and three scores.
That averages out to nearly 17 yards per catch. In the Kevin Colbert era, that’s one of the best figures for any Steelers’ deep threat. Here are the top ten Steelers in yards per catch since 2000 (minimum 40 receptions).
1. Mike Wallace – 20.1 (2010)
2. Santonio Holmes – 18.
