Steelers Positional Grades Season Review: Specialists

More often than not, the Pittsburgh Steelers have had solid special teams play under special teams coordinator Danny Smith. From the kicking and punting games to coverage units and return units, the Steelers have generally been steady.

For the most part in 2023, that was again the case.

Kicker Chris Boswell was once again one of the best kickers in football while Godwin Igwebuike had some success in the return game. So, too, did Calvin Austin III from a punt return standpoint.

Pittsburgh had real issues in the punting game though as Pressley Harvin III struggled with consistency issues, coming up with short, ugly punts in big spots that cost the Steelers dearly.
