Chase Claypool Says He’s Grown More Than Ever Before This Offseason

There exists in the NFL a widely-held notion that wide receivers don’t usually hit their full stride and get their feet under them until year three. This ideology held true for past greats like Terrell Owens, who with the 49ers posted 520 and 936 yards in his first two years before exploding for 1,097 and 14 touchdowns in year three back in 1998. We’ve seen it in the Steelers’ own division before as well, with the likes of the Bengals’ Chad (Johnson) Ochocinco, who in 2003, his third year in the league, exploded for 1,355 yards and 10 touchdowns.
