Van Jefferson ‘Has Established Himself As The No. 2’ WR For Steelers, Fittipaldo Believes

Hello, Van Jefferson. Apparently, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ initial plan for the second wide receiver has been the right one all along. Well, perhaps calling it “right” is a little too strong, but it’s the one that’s taking shape.

After the Steelers traded Diontae Johnson away, they opened a gaping hole in their wide receiver room. While they still had free agency, the draft, and trade, they didn’t make any true “splash”. Reportedly, they did try to make a big trade during the draft, but it fell through. They drafted Roman Wilson in the third round, who is missing time due to injury.
