Study: What The Steelers Look For In Drafting Wide Receivers (2025)

Continuing our Pittsburgh Steelers “what they look for” 2025 draft study. After examining the defensive ends yesterday, we’re looking at the wide receivers today. A position the team has shown plenty of interest in throughout the pre-draft process. Who are the current prospects who fit best?

As always, we’re looking back at every receiver drafted in the Mike Tomlin era. We’ll build out a profile and physical/athletic thresholds and see which 2025 options fit best. Since last year’s edition, the team drafted WR Roman Wilson. We’ll add him to the list, determine if it changes our criteria, and apply that to 2025.
