It is still early in training camp, and the pads haven’t come on, but the beginnings of the wide receiver competition are starting to play out at Saint Vincent College for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
For Day 3, rookie WR Roman Wilson was the star of the show.
Throughout the first couple days of practice, the top three wide receivers were almost exclusively George Pickens and Van Jefferson on the outside, and Calvin Austin III in the slot. Wilson got more opportunities today with the first-team offense, and he made the most of them.
During team sessions in 11-on-11, Wilson caught a few passes from Justin Fields for big gains, per Steelers Depot’s own Alex Kozora on-site at practice.
