When the Pittsburgh Steelers released their first depth chart earlier this week, Roman Wilson was listed a third-team wide receiver. He didn’t play like one on Saturday.
Wilson wasn’t on the field for long, only the first handful of plays with the starters who were on the field. However, he did have a couple nice catches in the Steelers’ 31-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chris Hoke thinks Wilson proved himself to the coaching staff in a big way.
“He wasn’t where he wanted to be on the depth chart when it first came out, and he came out today and established himself as a guy who can play when the lights turn on,” Hoke said on KDKA’s Nightly Sports Call.
