Steelers training camp notebook: Receiving group shows special potential in Saturday’s practice

In what was a picturesque day in Latrobe, PA, the Steelers had a very energetic practice. Mike Tomlin was barking on the sidelines more than usual after his absence Friday night due to being on hand to celebrate Ronde Barber’s Hall of Fame enshrinement, and it seemed to motivate every group to sharpen one another.

The wider receivers put on a show

This receiving core has the potential to be one of the best in team history. Diontae Johnson and George Pickens were their usual selves. Johnson made several catches in team drills, and Pickens made his daily “Oh my God in Heaven” catch, going over a defender and toe-tapping in the back of the end zone during red zone scrimmage.
