Film Room: Can Isaiah McKoy Replace James Washington In 2022?

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed WR Isaiah McKoy at the conclusion of the 2021 NFL Draft as an undrafted free agent. Coming out of Kent State as an early declare for the draft, McKoy had a tough road ahead of him in terms of getting drafting. He only played in four games in 2020 due to the pandemic, but still posted impressive numbers in those games played, tallying 25 receptions for 455 yards (18.2 YPC) and five receiving scores.

The year prior, McKoy posted 56 catches for 872 yards (15.6 YPC) and eight touchdowns. As Dave Bryan pointed out in his contextualization of McKoy’s 2020 targets and when looking at James Wilford’s Player Profile on McKoy, we quickly learn that McKoy is a field stretcher that challenges defenses vertically to win on the deep ball.
