After George Pickens, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver room is a huge question mark. Right now, we don’t even know who the team’s WR2 will be, but free agent acquisition Van Jefferson is staking his claim to that role in training camp.
Jefferson has been in the NFL for four seasons, his most prolific season coming in 2021 with the Los Angeles Rams when he caught 50 passes for 802 yards and six touchdowns. If Jefferson can replicate his 2021 numbers that would not be terrible for a WR2, especially in an offense run by offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who is not known for having very prolific WR2s.
