The Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver corps in 2024 was lackluster outside of George Pickens and Calvin Austin III. Part of that was due to the team’s inability to swing a big trade for San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (or any suitable wide receiver to complement Pickens). And part of that was then-rookie WR Roman Wilson suffering an ankle injury at the start of training camp.
That ankle injury and later a hamstring injury robbed Wilson of all but five offensive snaps as a rookie. The injuries and subsequent ineffectiveness frustrated Wilson. But it’s not something he wants to dwell on.
