Van Jefferson Should Be Pittsburgh’s WR2 Until Roman Wilson Is Ready

Related Topics: George Pickens, Van Jefferson

Entering the 2024 season, the WR2 spot in Pittsburgh is wide open for the taking. The team currently has a jumbled mess of names in the room behind George Pickens, who is cemented as the team’s WR1 after the departure of Diontae Johnson this offseason to the Carolina Panthers. The Steelers managed to address the position in the draft by selecting Michigan WR Roman Wilson with the 84th pick in the third round. They also brought in WRs Van Jefferson, Scotty Miller and Quez Watkins in free agency, and have former fourth round pick Calvin Austin III returning for his third season after getting his first NFL exposure last year.
