The Pittsburgh Steelers were questioned for their decision not to keep six wide receivers on their 53-man roster this season. They were questioned for making Ray-Ray McCloud their fifth wide receiver over Deon Cain, who was re-signed to the practice squad and was a protected player this week.
But through the first three games of his Steelers career, the young wide receiver has been showing his value, helping to boost the team’s return game, particularly on kick returns, an area that had been lagging for years, especially the last two with Ryan Switzer the primary player in that role.
