Roman Wilson Gains Coach Praise as Steelers Eye Third Receiver Spot
Roman Wilson is receiving strong commendation from teammates and coaches during Steelers training camp, positioning him as the likely third wide receiver.
Roman Wilson, a third-year receiver from Michigan, has emerged as the Steelers' top candidate for the third wide-receiver role after limited impact in his first two years, totaling 166 receiving yards. During training camp, his teammates and the new coaching staff have praised his progress, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers commenting on Wilson's newfound dynamism and confidence. Offensive coordinator Brian Angelico also observed better on-field communication and a relaxed approach to the game. The depth chart now places Wilson as the slot WR3 behind established stars DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. Competition for remaining roster spots will come from veteran Skowronek and rookie Bernard, but Wilson's rise could solidify the receiving unit.
Why it matters
Wilson's development could strengthen the Steelers' receiving corps and impact the team's offensive options.
