Calvin Austin III is facing a big season this year. In 2024, he took a nice step forward for the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, wide receiver was still a huge weakness for them last season. This year, they’re in a similar situation, with DK Metcalf as the obvious No. 1 with the depth behind him questionable. Austin seems likely to be the Steelers’ No. 2 receiver, and he gave some insight on what he felt made him better in 2024.
“Just having that confidence that, anytime I step on the field, no one can guard me,” Austin said Tuesday after the first day of OTAs via the team’s website.
