While Small On Stat Sheets, Hamilton’s Contributions Have Been Big

Since being promoted from the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad in October, wide receiver Cobi Hamilton has recorded all of 12 receptions for 153 yards and a touchdown. When you consider that he’s played 261 total offensive snaps during a span of 8 games, his stats say he’s not contributing much to the offense.

While Hamilton indeed only has 12 receptions on the season, it’s worth noting that 8 of them have come on third downs and 6 of those moved the chains. In fact, Hamilton has now produced chain-moving receptions on third downs in each of the Steelers last four games.
