Will WR Calvin Austin III step up in his third season with the Steelers?
You may have a hard time finding anybody who doesn’t think the Steelers need help at wide receiver. Outside of third-round pick Roman Wilson, they haven’t made any significant additions this offseason. There is reason to believe, however, that they seriously explored other options without pulling the trigger. One wonders what role Calvin Austin III plays in all of this.
A 2022 fourth-round draft pick, Austin is going into his third season, but second on the field. He spent his rookie year on the Reserve/Injured List, but failed to capture an extended role in 2023.
