Steelers’ WR Coach Frisman Jackson Excited About ‘Added Dimension’ Calvin Austin III Brings To Offense

Needing to add speed and some run after catch abilities to the wide receiver room at some point this offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers landed the ideal offensive package with the 138th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft Saturday, selecting Memphis wide receiver Calvin Austin III.

Austin clocked a 4.32 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, added a 39-inch vertical and a 135-inch broad jump, turning in one of the best days of any player this season, or in recent years.

Calvin Austin was a 0-star recruit out of high school.
