When the Steelers drafted wide receiver Calvin Austin III in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the expectation was that they were getting a dynamic playmaker. Missi Matthews recently talked to Ryan Silverfield, Austin’s former Head Coach at Memphis, and Silverfield talked about how Austin III could fit in the Pittsburgh offense.
“I think at the next level, obviously in coach Canada’s system, it’ll be great for him, right? He’s gonna be one of those guys that can play that slot receiver inside, but can be moved all around,” Silverfield said.
Austin played both inside in the slot and as an outside receiver during his time at Memphis.
