One of the big standouts from the third day of training camp was rookie WR Roman Wilson. He has a tall task ahead of him as one of many wide receivers vying for a prominent role in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense. Outside of George Pickens the second and third receiver roles are there for the taking.
Mike Tomlin has a track record of bringing rookies along slowly, but the opposite has been true with wide receivers over the years. Juju Smith-Schuster was a second-round pick in 2017, and started Week 1 his rookie season. Chase Claypool was a second-round pick in 2020, and got plenty of playing time as a rookie.
