The rookie receiver could be an immediate contributor for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Last season, the passing attack for the Pittsburgh Steelers was pretty bad and that might be the nicest way to describe it. The Steelers finished 2019 with the NFL’s second-fewest passing yards, fifth-fewest passing touchdowns, and sixth-lowest yards per pass attempt average.

However, Pittsburgh does have a pretty large excuse for their failures in the passing game last year. The Steelers were without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger starting under center for the majority of the season and that obviously had a tremendous impact.
