It’s not easy to be a good return man in this league, and realistically, there aren’t many. It seems it’s even more difficult to find one. The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t seem to be quite sure if they do, even if Ray-Ray McCloud, whom they signed during training camp last year, had an overall solid season in 2020 that petered out as the year progressed.
Special teams coordinator Danny Smith acknowledged that, as always, they are looking at their options. Part of that is simply the necessity of the offseason process, setting up a return line. He was asked about specific options like running back Anthony McFarland and rookie defensive back Lamont Wade, though he only addressed it as a group.
