Kaboly: Calvin Austin III Had Few Opportunities Because Steelers ‘Were Enamored With Allen Robinson’s Blocking’

Third-year Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin III is having himself a positive offseason, including generating good press. He needs it—the offseason, not the press—after accomplishing very little in his first two seasons. Mark Kaboly wonders if the Steelers didn’t give him his due last year, though, due to Allen Robinson II.

“He’s getting an opportunity to showcase his skill set. He wasn’t often put in a position to do that last year, as they were enamored with Allen Robinson’s blocking in the slot rather than getting receiving production from that spot”, Kaboly wrote about Austin for The Athletic recently.
