The Pittsburgh Steelers have an underrated set of weapons this season, and with the team adding Allen Robinson II via trade and Calvin Austin III returning from a foot injury, The Ringer thinks Pittsburgh’s group of pass-catchers is among the top-15 in the NFL. In Danny Heifetz’s ranking of the best pass-catching units in the league, including tight ends and running backs in addition to wideouts, Pittsburgh came in at No. 12.
“Judging solely by highlights and bravado (which is an inaccurate but extremely fun way to judge players) Pickens is already a top-five wide receiver in the NFL,” Heifetz wrote.
