The Pittsburgh Steelers are rightfully known as being one of the most successful teams in the league in scouting and drafting at the wide receiver position. For the past decade, that has been the strongest piece of their scouting puzzle, as evidenced by the fact that they have very rarely even had to rely on a free agent for a third receiver role.
General Manager Kevin Colbert and company reaffirmed their wide receiver wizardry last year with the selection of JuJu Smith-Schuster out of USC in the second round, who played immediately, quickly earned the third receiver role, by season’s end was starting, and even made Martavis Bryant expendable.
