Chase Claypool Says Improved Awareness Of Coverages Allowing Him To ‘Play Freely’ In Second Season

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Chase Claypool where they did last year because they saw in him the ability to do great things at the wide receiver position. While he is not without his flaws, he has already made good on his potential. He has caught 82 passes for 1214 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first 20 games, and is coming off of a career-best 130-yard game from Sunday.

The second-year pro made an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show earlier today, and at one point was asked about where he feels he’s most improved from his rookie season.
