Roman Wilson's New Number, Old Challenges

0:00On April 30, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson is suiting up with a fresh number 14 for his third season kicking off Under new head coach Mike McCarthy. The digits opened up this offseason when running back Kenneth Gainwell bolted to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, leaving number 10 behind Wilson's spot from his first two years. Back in Michigan, he rocked 14 for three seasons and even snagged the team's prize number one jersey in 2023. His rookie campaign got derailed by injuries with zero catches and last year he managed just 12 receptions for 166 yards and two touchdowns but veterans like Marquez Valdez Scantling and Adam Thielin ate up most snaps while he synced slow with Aaron Rodgers. Now projected as the fourth option behind DK Medcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and rookie Jeremy Bernard Wilson's roster bubble needs popping no special teams edge like Ben's Quranic gives him with Rodgers likely returning to build that connection and fight for real playing time.
