During his one season at Ohio State, Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie quarterback Will Howard had the chance to work with a special receiver in Jeremiah Smith, one that is considered a physical freak and the next great NFL wide receiver.
Now, in Pittsburgh, he’s working with true specimen at the position, one that defines physics. That would be DK Metcalf, whom the Steelers traded for this offseason before the start of free agency, handing out a huge extension to the 27-year-old receiver in the process to give Pittsburgh a true No. 1.
Though he had just a few days to work with him this offseason during the recently completed three-day mandatory minicamp at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, Howard is blown away by not only the type of talent Metcalf is, but the person he is as well.
