Aaron Rodgers raves about Steelers weapon who could be ‘big-time talent’

The Pittsburgh Steelers went to nice lengths to amass DK Metcalf within the offseason.

With George Pickens now not within the image, Metcalf is entrenched because the crew’s main pass-catcher. But it surely would not sound like he is the one receiver to catch Aaron Rodgers’ eye.

Rodgers believes Roman Wilson may also make a big effect in his second yr within the league. Speaking to the media, the brand new Steelers’ QB gushed about Wilson’s steady enchancment and preseason performances.

“I believe he’s enhancing on daily basis,” Rodgers stated, per Professional Soccer Discuss’s Michael David Smith. “You possibly can’t skew the outcomes from the main points. You take a look at his recreation the opposite night time, he made a pair splash performs. However we’re going to educate him laborious. His receiver coach, Artwork [Smith], and myself on the main points, as a result of the main points are what make the distinction. And despite the fact that he had a few massive performs, there’s some room for enchancment there.”

Wilson was restricted to 6 snaps as a rookie on account of ankle and hamstring accidents. However now that he is again to full power, Rodgers will not child or spoon-feed him.

“Wouldn’t say something if we simply thought he was going to be a man, simply any man that would you throw in. However I believe he has an opportunity to be a big-time expertise within the league. So, we’re going to carry him to a excessive commonplace,” Rodgers stated.

The third-round speedster will most definitely start the season because the fourth or fifth pass-catcher within the pecking order.

Then once more, aside from Metcalf, there aren’t any ensures within the passing recreation in Pittsburgh. Wilson has already impressed Rodgers, who’s normally not that prime on younger gamers.
