During media availability this morning, Steelers wide receiver coach Zach Azzanni was given a chance to speak about the group of passcatchers the team has assembled this year. Entering his second year in Pittsburgh, Azzani noted there’s been much skepticism about the strength of his group in NFL circles.
Some of that is understandable. Following the George Pickens trade, the Steelers once again became a favorite muse of the NFL’s offseason rumor mill, with a new report about which playmakers the Steelers have called about seemingly every week. There isn’t much proven talent behind newly acquired WR1 DK Metcalf besides Robert Woods, and Woods has only been a role player at his most recent stops around the league.
