With DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. cemented as the top two wide receivers on the team, the Steelers are hoping someone grabs the chance to become the third wide receiver in the lineup. So far, it seems like that has been Roman Wilson.
The third-year player out of Michigan hasn't flashed much in his NFL career, totaling just 166 receiving yards in two seasons. Last year, Wilson was largely a depth option as he and Aaron Rodgers never developed chemistry.
This year, though, Wilson appears to be earning more playing time during training camp, impressing both his teammates and new coaching staff. Rodgers explained that he thinks Wilson has taken a step forward early in the Summer.
"He looks to be more dynamic," Rodgers said, via The Athletic's Mike DeFabo. "He's making plays. He's confident. The personality starts to come out. He's, you know, joking around more with you in the locker room. I just love it. I love to see guys really coming into their own and really feel like they can be comfortable being their full self."
