O wide receiver de Texas Tech, Caleb Douglas, revelou que teve uma reunião formal com o Pittsburgh Steelers no NFL Scouting Combine de 2026. O encontro adiciona Douglas à lista de 17 recebedores que a equipe entrevistou no evento. Douglas impressionou com seu desempenho no Combine e sua produção universitária.

O Pittsburgh Steelers continua a observar wide receivers antes do Draft da NFL de 2026, com Caleb Douglas, de Texas Tech, agora confirmado como uma de suas reuniões formais no Combine. Douglas revelou a entrevista em uma conversa com Justin Melo, da Sports Illustrated, elevando para 17 o total de recebedores com os quais a equipe se encontrou durante o evento realizado no final de fevereiro e início de março em Indianápolis. Ele também teve discussões via Zoom com o Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cincinnati Bengals e Miami Dolphins, além de conversas com o Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers e Jacksonville Jaguars. “Tive uma entrevista formal no NFL Combine com o Pittsburgh Steelers”, disse Douglas. Na última temporada, o recebedor de 1,91m e 93kg recebeu 54 passes para 846 jardas e sete touchdowns em 14 jogos, conquistando honras de segundo time da All-Big 12. Ele registrou 4,39 segundos nas 40 jardas, um salto vertical de 80 cm e um salto em distância de 3,20 metros no Combine, além de convites para o Senior Bowl. Em dois anos em Texas Tech, Douglas acumulou 114 recepções para 1.723 jardas e 13 touchdowns em 27 jogos, após se transferir da Flórida, onde teve 21 recepções para 308 jardas e três pontuações em 13 participações. Vindo da região de Houston e ex-recruta quatro estrelas, Douglas segue os passos de seu pai, Cedric, que foi quarterback em Vanderbilt e Texas Southern. Os Steelers, que trocaram por Michael Pittman Jr. para reforçar seu elenco de recebedores ao lado de D.K. Metcalf sob o comando do novo técnico Mike McCarthy, podem ver Douglas como uma opção de terceiro dia de Draft para adicionar velocidade e tamanho.
