The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver room was a concern heading into the 2024 season, and the production of the room outside of WR George Pickens left a lot to be desired. With or without Pickens, Pittsburgh needs to upgrade at the wide receiver position, and Pickens’ future with the team appears to be murky. In a recent mock draft for The 33rd Team, Kyle Crabbs had the Steelers selecting Missouri WR Luther Burden III at No. 21 overall.
Heading into the season, Burden was considered one of, if not the best, receivers in this draft class, but his season didn’t quite live up to expectations, with 62 receptions for 676 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games.
