The Pittsburgh Steelers have an interesting problem. The team has two wide receivers, Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool, both of whom are capable of being top-tier receivers in the NFL. True No. 1 receivers? This is still up for debate. But with a new starting quarterback, both guys have a perfect opportunity to step up and take the reins and be the receiver who makes the entire offense better.
Last season, Johnson was the guy who took advantage of a struggling offense and accumulated 1,161 yards on 107 catches. Not to diminish this accomplishment at all but with all the changes this season, it’s a whole new set of problems.
Meanwhile, Claypool has already made the claim he’s a top-three receiver in the NFL. In terms of physical tools, it’s hard to argue he isn’t as gifted as any of the top players. But last season was a comedy of errors for Claypool and he never lived up to expectations. But he seems to be working hard and focused this offseason.
