To get us through this quiet, uneventful time in the NFL calendar before Steelers training camp begins, this series will take a look at some Steelers all-time rookie season records. This installment: receptions.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have an incredibly rich history at the wide receiver position. Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Louis Lipps, Hines Ward, and perhaps the best, Antonio Brown. So it goes to reason that the Steelers’ all-time rookie receptions leader is…a running back.
That’s right. In case you missed it, Najee Harris set the rookie receptions record in 2021 when he hauled in 74 passes out of the backfield.
