Calvin Austin III Believes He Hasn’t Missed Too Much While On IR: ‘From A Mental Standpoint, I’m Right There’

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiving corps was in shambles just after the outset of free agency, or so was the storyline, with JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Washington, and Ray-Ray McCloud all departing for other opportunities. By the time the team was putting the 53-man roster together, the tune had changed. Suddenly it was a position of depth—maybe they could even flip one for a late-round pick.

Fast forward another month and, well, there’s talent, but none of them have a touchdown pass yet, and only three of them have a catch. But Miles Boykin is evidently here for special teams, and apparently Gunner Olszewski (for now) and Steven Sims as well, so the hope is that rookie fourth-round pick Calvin Austin III can hop on the moving train.
