Chase Claypool Focusing On Route Running, Releases Ahead Of Second Season

The talent at wide receiver is going to be a central focus for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season, not simply as an offense, but for the team as a whole. At least on paper, it figures to be one of their most concentrated compartments of talent on the roster, and they have to find ways to maximize that resource.

Much is being made of second-year wide receiver Chase Claypool in particular, and what he can deliver as an encore from a promising rookie season. He caught 62 passes last season for 873 receiving yards, catching nine touchdown passes and adding two more as a runner.
