Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool had a down year by his standards in 2021, but it hasn’t diminished his confidence in the slightest. During an appearance on the I AM ATHLETE podcast, he put himself among the elite wideouts in the entire NFL.
“I am not like the rest of the guys in the NFL,” he said. “I know I’m a top-five receiver. I know I’m a top-three receiver.”
His comments drew attention because Claypool’s numbers from this past year were nowhere near the upper echelon of NFL pass catchers. He caught 59 passes for 860 yards and just two touchdowns.
