Former Notre Dame wide receiver Chase Claypool has gotten off to a hot start with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the first half of Sunday’s game against the Eagles was no different.
Claypool started the scoring in the week five game by recording his first career rushing touchdown on a jet sweep that was well blocked.
