If you’re a young wide receiver and somebody like Steve Smith Sr. offers you some advice, you’d better have your ears open. The smart ones, at least, will listen. The five-time Pro Bowler was in Pittsburgh Steelers training camp one day this year on assignment for some program or another, and he had time to share his thoughts with some of the team’s wideouts.
Fifth-year veteran Diontae Johnson, who already has a Pro Bowl under his belt, went up to Smith to try to pick his brain. Calvin Austin III didn’t even have to do that. In fact, he freely dispensed with his advice, which he shared on his Cut To It podcast, saying that he really likes what the second-year player can do but for one thing.
