Film Room: Calvin Austin III — Certified YAC Daddy

To start out the final day of draft weekend, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Memphis WR Calvin Austin III with the 138th pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. The selection of Austin came as a bit of a surprise given the fact that they had already selected a WR, Georgia’s George Pickens in the second round at #52 overall. However, as the great Dave Bryan along with other Steelers fans out there, there was a hope that Pittsburgh would potentially double dip at the position, drafting more of a prototypical outside WR that could stretch the field along with a receiver that projects more inside at the slot.
