Can Ben Skowronek earn a role in the passing game?
Did you know that Ben Skowronek, catcher of five whole passes, is the second-highest-paid receiver on the Steelers’ roster? They re-signed him on a two-year, $4,475,000 contract, which makes him the upper crust here. Of course, DK Metcalf laps everyone else combined in salary in the Steelers’ wide receiver room.
