The Steelers receivers stand above the competition, literally

The Pittsburgh Steelers have continued a recent trend of drafting and signing pass catchers of a certain height. A far cry of the days of Antonio Brown, Demarcus Ayers, and Eli Rogers sitting atop of the receiving depth chart. In 2021 they added the 6’5” Pat Freiermuth into the mix which only added to an already large amount of players who stand above 6’2”. Below are the Steelers pass catchers ranked on their height.

6’8 Zach Gentry
6’5’ Pat Freiermuth
6’4 Chase Claypool
6’4 Eric Ebron
6’4 Kevin Rader
6’2 Najee Harris
6’2 Derek Watt
6’1 JuJu Smith-Schuster
5’11 James Washington
5’10 Diontae Johnson
5’9 Ray Ray McCloud

The bottom line is the Steelers will have significant height advantages over their opponents in every offensive personnel grouping they roll onto the field.
