The Pittsburgh Steelers are desperately lacking firepower on offense – specifically a vertical threat down the field. Johnny Holton was pathetic last year when called upon. He caught just 3 of 15 targets and averaged 7.0 yards per catch. As a result, he was recently let go to save a few pennies for the team.
Outside of their top three receivers in JuJu Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, and James Washington, Pittsburgh’s depth at the position is among the worst in the league. Beyond these three, the Steelers have just Deion Cain and Ryan Switzer remaining from the 2019 roster.
