Steelers Draft Kaden Wetjen for Special Teams Edge

0:00On April 25, Pittsburgh Steelers just snagged Iowa Hawkeye, wide receiver Caden Wedgin in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, marking their second straight pick from that program after taking Jeremy Bernard. Wet Jen Shines-Britus as a return specialist, dominating college football last season with the top averages at 29.8 yards per. Kickoff return and 26.8 on punts, plus three pun return touchdowns. He joins a Crowder receiver room where he won't push for top spots, given his modest 20 catches last year, but he could slot in as the number five. Option behind guys like Ben Skoronic and Roman Wilson- both Wet Jen and Skaurneck lean heavy on special teams, which is a bit rare for two fists of the receiver group, yet they both handle routes and grabs when needed. Steelers clearly value that explosive return game to boost their special teams edge heading into the season. That wraps NFL news today, brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story.
