2015 Season Breakdown: If there is one thing you might think the Steelers did not need last season, it would have been depth at the wide receivers position—that or depth at either linebacker position. The team had plenty of bodies that they seemed content to go into the season with at each of those three spots.
The Steelers, of course, already had their core three wide receivers returning from last season, had re-signed Darrius Heyward-Bey, and also had just drafted yet another wide receiver in the third round.
