The Eagles 2020 sixth-round pick has started in 25 games for the Eagles in four seasons. He has 98 catches for 1,249 yards and six touchdowns in his four-year NFL career.

While that’s not for a Day 3 pick, the Steelers need offensive help badly after losing Johnson this offseason. New quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields have one good receiver, George Pickens, to throw to. The Steelers fanbase was hoping for Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins, Mike Williams, or Brandon Aiyuk this offseason.
