We are all guilty of the same crime. That crime is placing ridiculously lofty goals on rookies in the NFL. The Steelers' broad and rabid fan base, like all other fan bases, does this annually with their new class of players.
Without a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Steelers fans had to sit around and wait to see the team's top pick in the second. The pick was Notre Dame receiver Chase Claypool, and fans have been mesmerized by his size, speed and athleticism. All it took was a Chris Simms YouTube breakdown comparing Claypool to Calvin Johnson and fans were caught.
