In just his fourth career NFL game Chase Claypool had an afternoon that most players only dream of as the former Notre Dame star found the end zone four times for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their “state championship” win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
After the game Claypool took to Twitter to celebrate by sharing a photoshop for the ages for those familiar with the story lines in regards to NFL week five.

Maybe I’m crazy but I’d consider it to be a better week when you score four touchdowns than to forget what down it was at the end of a close game, Tom Brady.
Claypool now has 13 receptions for 261 yards and four touchdowns on the year while he’s also rushed for another 13 yards and a touchdown on the year.
Claypool is one of just 16 players in the NFL to have scored five touchdowns this season and compared to the majority of the league, has played one fewer game.
We said it at the time and it’s proving to be true early on – there aren’t many places a rookie receiver could wish to be drafted in terms of having NFL success than Pittsburgh.
