Heading into the 2024 season, the biggest hole on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster was their lack of another outside wide receiver alongside George Pickens. While the team acquired WR Mike Williams midseason, Van Jefferson still got the majority of the work on the outside, and his production through the air wasn’t all that impressive. Since 2012, just five receivers have played over 700 snaps in the regular season and caught 25 or less passes, and Jefferson is one of the five. Jefferson played 721 offensive snaps and had 24 receptions for 276 yards for the Steelers.
Along with Jefferson, other receivers on the list include Tennessee Titans WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who had 25 receptions for 397 yards in 777 snaps in 2022, former Detroit Lions WR Jeremy Ross, who had 24 receptions for 314 yards in 2014, former Buffalo Bills WR T.
