Despite missing all of last season with a foot injury, Calvin Austin III believes there was value in his rookie campaign.
“I’m so much more mentally prepared coming to this camp as far as reading defenses, knowing the plays,” Austin told Steelers.com after practice Sunday at training camp in Latrobe.
The explosive wide receiver out of the University of Memphis said he improved “in all aspects of the game” after missing the injury by tightening up simple things such as route-running and playbook knowledge.
“Last year I was trying to fix up, clean up how to run the seam route,” Austin said.
