The Pittsburgh Steelers won in dramatic fashion over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night, in what was the best game in Week 1 of the NFL preseason. Rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett connected with former USC Trojan Tyler Vaughns on a TD pass in the final seconds of the game.

Pickett was 13-of-15 passing for 95 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Vaughns caught 2 passes for 32 yards and the game-winning touchdown.

Vaughns was an undrafted free agent in 2021, which surprised many pundits surprised. He was signed by the Indianapolis Colts but was waived last season. Vaughns was then signed to the Steelers’ practice squad. He signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on January 18, 2022.

Vaughns is trying to make the team, which has a deep depth chart at wide receiver: Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, Chase Claypool, Anthony Miller, Miles Boykin, Cody White, and Calvin Austin III.
