Logically, it should be pretty tough to get excited about a fourth-round wide receiver who missed all of their rookie year due to an injury and only tallied 180 yards last season. But Calvin Austin III is different.
Look at the Steelers receivers behind George Pickens. Quez Watkins, Van Jefferson, Roman Wilson, Scotty Miller. If you were Calvin Austin, would any of those names instill particular fear in you? Sure, they are solid depth pieces, but it’s about as wide-open of a WR2 battle as there is in the league.
And of those guys, Austin’s speed is probably the biggest single skill possessed by any of them.
