In 2006, the Pittsburgh Steelers had 4 wide receivers gain 500 yards. That’s the only time it has happened in franchise history. Hines Ward, rookie Santonio Holmes, Nate Washington and Cedrick Wilson all gained 500 yards and combined those 4 receivers missed 3 games.
Other notable #4 wide receivers for the Pittsburgh Steelers include Jerricho Cotchery, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Charles Johnson back in 1995. This season the Steelers look to be talented and deep at wide receiver, possibly the deepest wide receiver group this team has seen in a long time.
