The Pittsburgh Steelers made some big changes to their wide receiver room this offseason starting from the top down. They moved on from WR coach Frisman Jackson and hired Zach Azzanni in his place. They traded Diontae Johnson and released Allen Robinson II while signing Van Jefferson and Scotty Miller and drafting Roman Wilson. Calvin Austin II and George Pickens were the only two holdovers from the 2023 WR room.
Last year’s WR group didn’t exactly have the best reputation. Johnson and Pickens both came into the media’s crosshairs for various effort- and attitude-related incidents. It was time for a change, so they brought in Azzanni.
