‘Not Calvin:’ Ben Roethlisberger Doesn’t See Austin III As Steelers’ No. 2 Receiver

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III had four catches for 95 yards in Pittsburgh’s Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, which is by far the best game a non-George Pickens wide receiver has had for the Steelers this season.

Despite Austin’s big game, which included a 55-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter, former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t believe that Austin is a legitimate WR2 for the Steelers.

“Not Calvin. Calvin Austin, great play today. He can run. But he’s not your two,” Roethlisberger said on the latest episode of his Footbahlin’ podcast.
