The Steelers have taken a wide receiver in the second draft choice in four straight years. Here’s why that streak could continue in 2021.
You would be hard-pressed to find a team in the NFL that has taken the exact same position with their second draft choice in each of the past four NFL Drafts.

Starting with JuJu Smith-Schuster back in 2017, the Steelers have taken four straight wide receivers with their second selection each year since (the others being James Washington, Diontae Johnson, and Chase Claypool).
