Who would have thought that in such an unusual year, the Steelers rookies would have contributed in such a large fashion? Wide receiver Chase Claypool has been one of the surprise players of the draft after a dominant four-touchdown performance in Week 5, while offensive guard Kevin Dotson was thoroughly impressive when asked to fill in for an injured David DeCastro.
With the Steelers having a limited offseason that included surrounding all five of their scheduled preseason games this year, I wouldn’t have guessed that their rookies would have received as much playing time as they have earned so far.
