Danny Smith Wants Us To Believe The 2022 Returner Job Is ‘Wide Open’

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed wide receiver Gunner Olszewski to two-year, $4.2 million contract in free agency and mainly due to his kickoff and punt return abilities. So, that means that Olszewski, who spent the last two seasons with the New England Patriots as their primary returnman, is a lock to make the Steelers 53-man roster later this summer, right? Well, as the great Lee Corso always likes to say, “Not so fast, my friends.”

During the Steelers mandatory minicamp practices that took place last week, special teams coordinator Danny Smith made it known during a media session that nobody has locked up any jobs when it comes to the return department.
