What to expect from new Steelers WR Mike Williams for rest-of-season

Newly acquired WR Mike Williams grabbed the attention of Steeler fans when he caught the game-winning touchdown pass in his first game with the Black and Gold. More amazing than being an instant hero is that he did it while only playing nine snaps in the entire game. There is a well-known Tomlinism that applies to the low snap count for any newcomer: It’s hard to jump on a moving train. Let’s look at how hard that jump is at the wide receiver position in particular.
