As part of a team in transition on both sides of the football, the 2022 regular season will be a pivotal one for a trio of Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox.
Ahead of the start of Phase 3 of OTAs, veteran cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, third-year receiver Chase Claypool and second-year linebacker Buddy Johnson are the three Steelers’ players projected to break out in the 2022 regular season. Witherspoon continues to get a ton of love nationally, building off a terrific close to the 2021 season after being inserted into the lineup due to injury, leading to a two-year, $8 million deal in free agency from the Steelers.
