Say what you will about the fans at Heinz Field chanting “HEEEEEEEEEAAATH” for any reception made by a white tight end, but, in a way, Pittsburgh Steelers white tight end Vance McDonald is looking forward to getting his first, and he is hoping that it comes tomorrow against the Bengals.
The former second-round pick, acquired via trade during the preseason, finally got his first catch as a Steeler last week, on the road in Kansas City, for a 26-yard gain. His first five official targets all ended in incompletions, the first two of which should have been receptions.
