The last two months or so, there’s been one player on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense that has seemingly become a focal point within the passing game has also been it’s most surprising. That would be fourth-year wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud.
Once long-time slot receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was lost for the season with a shoulder injury against the Denver Broncos at Heinz Field, McCloud has been the one who has benefited the most from the increased playing time, becoming arguably the No. 3 or No. 4 option in the passing with the Steelers down the stretch.
In the last eight games, McCloud has averaged seven targets per game to go along with just under four catches per game for roughly 27 yards.
