John Clayton, a man who covered the Pittsburgh Steelers long ago, unveiled a three round mock draft for The Washington Post. And he has the team taking a wide receiver with their first selection in the draft, #49 overall. He mocked USC’s Michael Pittman Jr. with this short blurb as to why.
“The Steelers are the best at drafting wide receivers. Pittman would give Ben Roethlisberger another pass-catcher.”
Pittman has a JuJu Smith-Schuster feel in size and of course, alma mater. While Pittman doesn’t excel in any one area, he has a well-rounded game and could become a trust possession receiver at the next level.
