When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded away Chase Claypool, it was obvious the team was losing a chunk of its receiving room. Even though it was the right move to make, one that’s only looked better in recent weeks, there wasn’t much in the slot behind Claypool who himself wasn’t a natural slot receiver and oh man, has it shown.
In the two games the Pittsburgh Steelers have played post-Claypool, they’ve gotten nothing from the slot. The top two names, Steven Sims and Gunner Olszewski, have sure gotten their cardio in. Lots of routes, lots of snaps, but very little production.
