In line with the rest of the offense, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ receiving core is not living up to expectations so far this season. This is a receiving core that the team invested two second-round picks in with George Pickens and Chase Claypool as well as a multi-year contract extension this past offseason with Diontae Johnson. While all three have shown flashes, consistency has been a problem. As such, Marcus Mosher of Pro Football Focus ranked this receiving core at 17th in a Wednesday article.
“This is one of the most physically gifted wide receiver corps in the league,” Mosher said in reference to his ranking of the team’s receiving core.
