Roethlisberger Praises Claypool For His ‘God-Given Abilities’ And Football IQ

Chase Claypool is everything you want in a receiver, Big. Fast. Strong. And whip smart. Talking to the media after Sunday’s 38-29 win over the Eagles, Ben Roethlisberger praised Claypool’s complete body of work. And one heck of a performance.

“He’s talented,” Roethlisberger said. “He has got some God given abilities that not many people in this world have. He’s big, fast and strong, and he’s very, very smart. And so we’re able to do those things, like move him around and do some things with him.”

Claypool became the first Steelers’ rookie in team history with four touchdowns in a game.
