The last time a Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver was labeled a one-trick pony, it turned out that he kind of was, and it was a trick that became less and less successful the more it was exposed. It also didn’t help that there has been a different arm delivering the ball to that pony for the past couple of seasons.
The above reference is, of course, to Mike Wallace, a third-round draft pick by the Steelers in 2009 who made an immediate impact as a rookie with over 750 receiving yards and six touchdowns, averaging nearly 20 yards per reception.
