Chase Claypool’s first season in the NFL was one for the record books, at least in terms of Steelers’ history. After tying the Steelers’ record for most touchdowns scored by a rookie wide receiver in a single season with 11, the expectation was there that he could take another step forward in his second season. While that didn’t necessarily happen to the degree he or the Steelers would have hoped, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Claypool isn’t capable. He’ll be the first to admit that it was a mixed bag of results overall in his sophomore year.
“Last season, ups and downs,” said Claypool in a locker room interview on Thursday via Steelers.
