Pittsburgh Steelers receiver corps seen as offense's weakest link
2 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · May 7
Schatz said depth behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman is thin, with rookie Germie Bernard unproven, Roman Wilson limited to 12 catches in 2025, and Kaden Wetjen mainly a returner.
Pittsburgh drafted Bernard in the second round and Wetjen in the fourth after missing on first-round target Makai Lemon, who was taken by Philadelphia after the Eagles traded up.
The assessment comes as Aaron Rodgers has yet to decide whether to return, join another team or retire, while coach Mike McCarthy says he wants versatile receivers who can play all three spots.
Can Mike McCarthy’s system elevate a criticized receiving corps, or is Aaron Rodgers destined for another cautious season?
Is Pittsburgh's plan for a post-Rodgers era already undermining their chance to win with him now?
Did the Steelers’ draft pivot from a star receiver to a tackle reveal their true concern for 2026?
