Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool earned himself the distinction of being the answer to a trivia question on Sunday, though how notable that question is will only be borne out by time: he was the target of quarterback Kenny Pickett’s first NFL pass. And his first interception—on the same play.
After four straight running plays on his first possession, Pickett had the opportunity to launch one down the field from near midfield, where it met with Claypool and New York Jets defensive back Lamarcus Joyner, ultimately ricocheting into the hands of the quarterbacks’ Pittsburgh Panthers teammate, Jordan Whitehead, for the takeaway.
