For the third time this decade, the Pittsburgh Steelers have drafted a wide receiver in Roman Wilson who loves blocking. At least that’s what he says, but Chase Claypool and George Pickens didn’t quite sustain their interest. Neither did JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Washington before them, to a lesser extent.
Interestingly, Roman Wilson is the smallest of all of these Day 2 wide receivers taken since 2027. All of them came out of college known to have some reputation as a blocker and a physical player. All of them showed some aptitude for it to some degree in the Black and Gold.
