The wide receiver position remains one of the biggest areas of need for the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the 2024 season, but the fact that the Steelers currently don’t have a true No. 2 pass catcher opposite George Pickens could prove quite advantageous for rookie Roman Wilson.
Wilson, selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft at No. 84 overall, profiles as more of a slot receiver in the NFL due to his smaller stature, but that doesn’t take away from his toughness or play-making.
Though he was the 14th wide receiver taken in the 2024 NFL Draft, he’s stepping into one of the more favorable situations in the NFL from a receiver standpoint among all rookies in the 2024 NFL Draft class at the position, according to Pro Football Focus.
