Former Steelers WR Wants NFL Comeback
The Pittsburgh Steelers are involved in nearly all wide receiver conversation in the NFL this summer. With the competition for WR2 ongoing and the team involved in trade conversations for Brandon Aiyuk and rumors tying them to several others, the Steelers can’t avoid it. With their second preseason game looming and the team still trying to determine their final 53-man roster, there are plenty of moves left to make before their week one opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
This summer has also featured some former Steelers’ receivers making headlines. Antonio Brown always finds a way to make the news. Chase Claypool was placed on injured reserve and subsequently released by the Buffalo Bills. Martavis Bryant is getting another crack to make an NFL roster, signing with the Washington Commanders. And now, former Steelers pass catcher and fan favorite Eli Rogers wants to get in the mix.
He took to social media to voice his desire to play in the NFL again. He also levied some criticism against the current group of receivers in the league. Rogers shared his thoughts on his X account.
“All I’ve been seeing is dudes get clamped in training camp,” he wrote. “And I still can’t get a shot to show WHY I’m arguably the best route runners of my generation.”
