Last year, wide receiver was one of the biggest holes on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster. George Pickens made plays, but they struggled to find a productive number two beside him. The Steelers were hoping that Roman Wilson would’ve helped to fill that role, but he missed almost all of his rookie season due to injury. This year, they’re dealing with similar issues at wideout, and once again, they’re looking at Wilson to step up. After the Steelers’ first preseason game, Bucky Brooks has faith in Wilson’s potential.
“When you look at Roman Wilson, his stop-start quickness, his route running ability, all the savvy that he displayed at Michigan was on full display pregame and during the game,” Brooks said recently on his Move the Sticks podcast.
