When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran wide receiver and punt returner Gunner Olszewski to a two-year deal in free agency, the expectation was they were addressing the major hole left behind on the roster on special teams due to the departure of Ray-Ray McCloud to the San Francisco 49ers in free agency.
Turns out, they got more than they were hoping for with Olszewski, especially on offense, as the veteran receiver — who was an All-Pro return specialist with the New England Patriots — has shown he brings some juice to the table offensively from the slot as well, giving the Steelers’ deep receiver room another added piece to work with thoughout the 2022 season.
