The Pittsburgh Steelers added one of the smallest players in the 2022 NFL Draft in the fourth round with the selection of wide receiver Calvin Austin III out of Memphis. As you might guess, however, they don’t believe that he plays to his listed 5’9”, 162-pound frame (though he measured closer to 5’8” in the pre-draft process).
As head coach Mike Tomlin pointed out, his great speed helps him to overcome some of the natural advantages that his height might pose against NFL-level defensive talent. But Austin attributes his ability to compete with his frame to something else.
