NFL analyst lobbies for Steelers to sign Odell Beckham Jr.

The Steelers need a third wide receiver and OBJ is still very talented.

The Pittsburgh Steelers need a wide receiver. Diontae Johnson and George Pickens are set as the starters, but Pittsburgh does not have that key third receiver to add an extra layer of pressure on an opposing defense. NFL analyst and former quarterback Dan Orlovsky thinks that the receiver should be Odell Beckham Jr.

Beckham didn’t play in 2022 as he recovered from a torn ACL suffered in the Super Bowl the previous season. Beckham is healthy now and ready to return to the NFL. In Beckham’s eight seasons in the league, he has had double-digit starts in six of them but started at least 15 games only three times.

Is Beckham a good fit for the Steelers? I suppose that depends on Beckham. He would have to be willing to accept a diminished role as the No. 3 wide receiver and likely the fourth option in the passing game overall. Beckham’s ability to play inside and outside would work well with what Pittsburgh does on offense, and you can never complain about a big target for a young quarterback.

Let us know in the comments if you agree with Orlovsky and think OBJ is a good fit for the Steelers.
