Steelers' Roman Wilson Fits as WR2? | Who is New FA WR Scott Miller? | Fit w/George Pickens, Offense
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 май 2024
- The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Michigan receiver Roman Wilson in the third round of the NFL Draft, but is he a fit as the team's WR2 next to George Pickens? Chris Carter goes over his college resume to see how Wilson could fit long term for the Steelers, but also what might be needed from him isn't just what he does on the field, but also in the locker room.
Also, Chris Carter takes a look at the new free agent signing Scott Miller, and how the Steelers' ensemble of depth receivers like Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Quez Watkins, Dez Fitzpatrick, Denzel Mims and Marquez Callaway are just a mix of players Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan and Arthur Smith seek to find a diamond in the rough, but with none of them individually being the primary answer at the position.
Finally, Chris ties the Steelers' current situation at wide receiver back to the team's legacy at the position, dating back to Hines Ward, and why Roman Wilson could compare well with what the Steelers need out of a wide receiver, both as a playmaker and a leader.

Let's get this right, Steelers! 2024 & beyond! Go, Steelers!
Dionte Johnson is listed at 5’10 183lbs. Wilson (5’10 185) is an elite separator at 85% against man highest. Which is highest in this years class. He has a ward mentality and AB upside
Can't wait to see how this all plays out. I'm stoked about Roman Wilson AND Scotty Miller!
Thank you. It's about time someone got it
Thank you. I’ve been saying this for a week now. I swear we could literally draft Hines Ward or Antonio Brown in their prime and Steelers nation would be like “these guys are too small. They will be good slot players, we still need to trade for a #2 WR”
Same here 1000% agree. It's like they don't know how to separate themselves from fantasy football to the NFL
I 100% concur
So if pickens get hurt say hamstring pull 6 to 8 weeks we good right😂
@@steveanders3086 no worse off than we would have been last year if the same thing happened
@@jagmd diontae would get open and force doubles noones doubling van jefferson and roman neither can beat the press but whatever you say. Pennsylvania ppl are smart they voted for biden
Van Jefferson is a lot nicer player / receiver than people giving him credit for.
I agree 👍
Yes he is. We have to many highlight watching fans. Our WR room is going to be way underated just like in the 2000s but that group made plays when they had to. CAIII needs to step up though. lets not forget our TEs too. I cant wait.
He drops the ball a lot tbh
@@julianwahly3372They can't separate themselves from reality to fantasy football. To busy checking out other teams
facts
Reliable hands, creates separation, sounds like we got ourselves a Hines Ward/Diontae Johnson Hybrid here. 🔥🙌🏽
I think he's more Hinds than anyone. Great blocker who will be great in the locker room too.
Fast outside guys with good hands equals more coverage off the line which means less defense to stop the run 🤷♂️ sounds good to me 😁
CC my friend is huge michigan fan he had all games Y
Taped this season so we sat down watched ever game s
So now I’m excited to have him he can easily be #2 guy runs great routes sure hands super speed he’s gonna suprise us! And his interviews he’s very smart and hungry as hell with. Chip on his shoulder and is out to prove it
He may be best receiver in draft so I think he makes huge impact He is gonna be a steal may be set here
😅
Wilson to Wilson Connection
I am expecting CA3 to do big things this year. Guy basically got very few opportunities with Canada's play calling and the qb situation last year.
As a college player I was a 6'2" 225 lb. ILB, and I HATED trying to track little flea sized slot receivers, and personally, I'd rather we field a pair of 4.3 second Darnell Washingtons, but, there is just a bit of evidence to support the viability of the smaller to smallish receivers.
Santonio Holmes: 5' 11" 190 lbs.
Antonio Brown: 5' 10" 185 lbs.
Hines What's his name: 6'
200 lbs.
Lynn Somebody: 5' 11" 180 lbs.
I mean, c'mon... 😊
I think we can use a vet one but i called the Roman Wilson pick 💪🏿 He adds 10 pounds of NFL weight with his speed he will be a good #2... The DBs this year in the draft were small too 👀 Time will tell... AB, Hill, Steve Smith, Ward were all around his size and he is faster than all them except Hill.. He will deliver 🏈💪🏿🏈😮
I agree. Another player his size…. Dionte Johnson. I believe the sky’s the limit for Roman and he’s got the attitude to be great. As you said, time will tell
@@s.i.rschwertz9154 big faccccccts 💯
Everybody’s looking into it a little too much and the Steelers really do believe in Calvin and you have to remember Saul Gardner saying he was one of the best he ever played against his ceiling high and he can be the Deontae with speed
Many Steeler fans are brats. I am a Steeler fan, but not spoiled.
Wilson is closer to 6' ft. He recently addressed all the different listings of his height.
I get what you're saying, but the problem is that none of that will happen. Van Jefferson and Quez are average wr 3s at best
We can sign anyone we want but the Steelers will sign a big receiver before the season starts!
We have enough receivers. Scotty Miller is the true slot option, Roman Wilson will be our #2. Jefferson, Watkins and Austin will be rotational pieces and get reps on alternate series and such. Don’t underestimate the connection a coach and player can have, I trust Khan, I trust Tomlin, and they trust Arthur Smith. Steelers to the moon!
That’s exactly what I thought bro.. there trying to find a deebo “James Harrison “
Antonio Brown was considered undersized and not much was though of him coming out of the draft except as a serviceable kick returner as he was All conference at Central Michigan at kick returner after being a walk on but then became one of the all time greatest wrs because of his work ethic and a chip on his shoulder
He couldn't be even double termed . And was on track to break some of Jerry Rice's and Randy Moss's records.if not for his mental health issues.
… so do you think we’re looking at Young Money Crew II?
We did not treat Pickens with kid gloves ; why treat Roman Wilson like that. 🤔 we drafted him 3rd to be a #2 give him a shot.
Man this comment sums it up. Like Roman is a hell of a wr the type who can put all over the field with motion releases and put defenses in a bind.
Hey CC, imo Roman Wilson was drafted to be a direct replacement for DJ. DJ was a 3rd round pick from Toledo. If Wilson as a 3rd round pick, from National Champ Michigan, can’t match DJ’s production during his rookie deal then we can say he is not it. DJ is a WR1 or a WR2 at worst. Roman has to step up ASAP. Best of luck to him #HereWeGo
Omar Khan read to many press clippings about him conning GM's and believed he was a con artist. Once he pulled off the Chicago trade which netted Joey Porter Jr GM's have become wary of doing buisiness with him with the fear of similar results being done to them
roman wilson good actually like a zay flowers fr
i know we need a another big guy that we are going to payalot of money that will cost us players down the road.. ... what about another great te very athletic te a pitts type are gramm type 4.45 ish te u can run 2 te sets with george on the field deep threat cost alot less..to trade for and pay...and do the same thing smiths offense wants to be big
its the cooking spaghetti mode for receivers lets throw it against the wall to see what stick
Nah they need 2 gunners on punt team
Our offense is nothing to fear. Nevertheless, we are switching to a power offense, so why do people keep talking about WR?
We need a true route runner and Roman Wilson has trouble with press coverage i don't think he will ever be a number 1
Tomlin said Roman is a good separator
I am not sold on the receivers that are on the team,, we will see
Roman Wilson never breaks tackles though.
make ward a coach
Love Roman Wilson. He's like a Tyler Lockett. Plays like a tall reciever and fast and akways gets open.More importantly he holds onto the football unlike Dionte Johnson and likes to block like Hines Ward. Only dropped 4 balls in his whole college career. 1 drop last year. Dionte Johnson took plays off and had a case of the dropsies.He dusted Quinton Mitchell the best cover guy in college last year.The tape doesn't lie. Plus he played in the same system at Michigan as Arthur Smith run first offense. NOT a diva! 7 td catches at 7 opportunities in the red zone.
Always not akways
Dusted Quentin Mitchell at the Senior Bowl almost breaking his ankle making him look foolish.
Antonio Brown was a 6th round pick
I doubt that he's a number two at this year anyway
Steelers need to just get a wide receiver in the first round next draft! No need to spend a lot of money or draft picks on a wide receiver this season…especially when your OC has a run heavy offense!!! How about focusing on another DB to strengthen the defense!!! BE SMART!!!
Hines was a qb and running back and 1 year at wr at Georgia . He wasn't ranked highly by draft experts.considerered a project with no role in the pros.All he did was block like nobody else and finish wuth 1000 catches
Roman is small. One bad throw in the flat, he gets nailed and has to deal with another injury. He looks good on tape, but I am not convinced he can survive in the man's game that the NFL is.
This WR room is a disaster right now. I really wonder what our offensive roster looks like right now if we went with zach robinson instead.
Come on guy u Ms Cleo u can c tha future these dudes do this for a living what u do is u a NFL scout or what
1st day of camp, WR room should be shown a compilation of Hines Ward BLOCKING highlights. Just frame after frame of Hines plowing DBs and DEs. Mr. Wilson's ethos of "no block, no rock" should be the WR room tattoo. Maybe put on George's forehead in reverse, 'cuz ya just know he spends a lotta time in front of a mirror. 🙂
Its a passing league receiver is not a hard position you cant touch him or the quarterback
CAIII has been wasted here, they are foolish to give up on him.
They screwed up by not signing tyler boyd and this was a panic move.
Pipe dream for Austin. ughh.. he doesnt even have value on special teams ..theres like 5 better returners than him on the team and its not even close.
Van Jefferson is horrible. He's dropped so many TDs.
Arthur Smith hire was awful…and we keep bringing in mid pieces off an awful Falcons team. What are we even doing. Tomlin seriously couldn’t hire a coordinator to save his life…always his downfall…no different now.
We have 20 #5-6 WRs…and no #1…traded away our #1 legit can always get open guy….with no plan to replace him. Drafted an awesome #3 slot guy. We are effed completely without bringing in a legit #1 WR and it looks like we won’t be doing that. What tf are they doing ☠️☠️☠️
Cry cry cry u sound like u going to have a nervous breakdown 😂😂😂
💩 poor 😢 baby
Y'all will see this guy is right and Roman Wilson has trouble getting off the line too
@@shawnmorreale9245if so thats why u have motion releases , that's what coaching his for.
Sorry Chris... character is cool, but i don't wanna hear that BS right now. All yall media folks said that character and leadership bullshxt for 2 years with Kenny Pickett and it was WORTHLESS at the end of the day. I believe Rome can play. That's all i care about.
