More often than not, the wide receivers that the Pittsburgh Steelers draft in the early to middle rounds have a significant impact, or at least a significant snap count, during their rookie seasons. Guys like Markus Wheaton and Sammie Coates were the exceptions to players like JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mike Wallace, Martavis Bryant, Santonio Holmes, and most recently, Diontae Johnson. Even James Washington played extensively during the 2018 season.
Yet there isn’t a lot of talk or pressure surrounding Chase Claypool, in spite of the fact that he is the team’s highest selection for the position since Holmes in 2006.
