Terceiro wide receiver dos Steelers pode ter snaps limitados sob o comando de McCarthy

Mark Kaboly acredita que o terceiro wide receiver do Pittsburgh Steelers terá um papel menor do que o esperado na próxima temporada. Com DK Metcalf e Michael Pittman Jr. como alvos principais, a posição pode representar apenas 25 a 30 por cento dos snaps.

Os Steelers adicionaram Michael Pittman Jr. nesta offseason e têm o retorno de DK Metcalf. Kaboly disse no podcast Kaboly + Mack que esses dois serão os principais produtores no jogo aéreo.

Germie Bernard é o favorito para ser o terceiro wide receiver após a equipe subir no draft para selecioná-lo na segunda rodada. Roman Wilson ainda é uma possibilidade, embora Kaboly tenha observado incertezas sobre como qualquer um dos novatos se sairá no training camp.

O novo treinador Mike McCarthy utilizou rodízios de recebedores no passado. Kaboly destacou que a equipe também possui opções fortes na posição de tight end e running back, incluindo Pat Freiermuth e Jaylen Warren, o que pode reduzir a dependência de um terceiro recebedor.

McCarthy demonstrou interesse em formações com dois tight ends após os trabalhos iniciais da offseason com Darnell Washington.
