The Pittsburgh Steelers are optimistic that fourth-round pick Kaden Wetjen will transition smoothly from college to the pros as a return specialist. Special teams coordinator Danny Crossman highlighted the differences between college and NFL rules during recent comments. Wetjen, a standout at Iowa, is expected to help improve the team's struggling return units.
Danny Crossman, the Steelers' special teams coordinator, told reporters that Wetjen faces adjustments to the professional game's rules and appearance. “The professional game is quite different than the college game,” Crossman said. He noted the need to get the rookie up to speed quickly, similar to any young player.
