AFC North WR Rankings No. 2: Pittsburgh Steelers

Top 4 Wide Receivers: Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, George Pickens, Anthony Miller

As is always the case, the Pittsburgh Steelers have several really good wide receivers. Diontae Johnson was a former third-round pick who has 2,764 yards and 20 touchdowns in just three seasons — and is coming off his best campaign as a pro. In 2021, he recorded 107 receptions for 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns.

Second is Chase Claypool, who was huge in his rookie season with 873 yards and nine touchdowns. He didn’t get into the end zone near as much in year two but still had 59 catches for 860 yards and two scores. He should also get the ball even more now that JuJu Smith-Schuster is in Kansas City.

Third on the list for the Steelers is rookie George Pickens, a second-round pick from Georgia. Pickens had 727 yards and eight touchdowns as a freshman but a knee injury limited him for the remainder of his collegiate career. He was able to get back to full health and there are a lot of expectations being placed on him as he enters the NFL.

They also have Anthony Miller who was traded from Houston and played in just one game last season. He’s still a talented player who had 1,564 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Bears. Put all these guys together and Pittsburgh comes in at No. 2 in the North.
