‘I’ll Be Right There With Them:’ Calvin Austin III Thinks He’ll Able To Contribute Immediately in 2023

The Pittsburgh Steelers got a lot of production from their 2022 rookie class, with quarterback Kenny Pickett, wide receiver George Pickens, undrafted rookie Jaylen Warren and defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal all playing big roles for the team. By the end of the year, linebacker Mark Robinson and tight end Connor Heyward saw increased roles as well. One rookie who wasn’t out on the field was fourth-round pick Calvin Austin III, who re-aggravated his foot injury after his 21-day practice window to return off IR was opened. As Austin III wasn’t activated off IR within 21 days, he had to miss the season.
