With 110 yards receiving and four total touchdowns on Oct. 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, second-round pick Chase Claypool officially arrived in the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Claypool broke out in that game and held a main role in the offense the rest of the season as one of the three main receivers Pittsburgh used.
Claypool’s role was varied early on during that stretch. Pittsburgh would line him up wide, give him some snaps in the slot, even design the occasional sweep play for him. As the season progressed, the rookie’s role became more and more defined to a wide alignment, with his snaps, sweeps, and other uses dialed back as the season progressed from Week 5 to Week 17.
