Receiver Roman Wilson caught 12 touchdown passes as a senior at Michigan in 2023.<\/p>\n
The 2024 third-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers hauled in his first NFL touchdown in his eighth career game on Sunday night in a 35-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers. His score came late in the fourth quarter to pull the Steelers (4-3) to within 10, but the team did not convert on its two-point attempt that would have made it a one-score game. <\/p>\n
Wilson\u2019s 21-yard touchdown was initially ruled incomplete after Carrington Valentine dislodged the ball from his grip, but after review, the refs determined Wilson completed the catch<\/a> before it was ripped from his hands. <\/p>\n The 5-foot-10 Hawaii native had just four receptions in six games entering Sunday but matched his season total against the Packers, leading the team with 74 receiving yards.<\/p>\n Multiple NFL insiders have linked Pittsburgh to several receivers on the trade market ahead of Nov. 4\u2019s deadline. DK Metcalf has had a productive season with 461 receiving yards and five touchdowns in seven games, but no other Steelers wideout has more than 170 yards. <\/p>\n Wilson was asked about the trade rumors this week. <\/p>\n \u201cHonestly, since I\u2019ve been here, since the day I was drafted, there\u2019s been speculation, so it\u2019s nothing new to me,\u201d Wilson said, via the Post-Gazette.<\/a> \u201cIt\u2019s always been like that. I feel like it\u2019s just something you always deal with, but it doesn\u2019t really affect me.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite back-to-back losses, the Steelers still lead the AFC North with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. The 41-year-old connected with Wilson four times on five targets Sunday as he looks to find another reliable pass-catching option.<\/p>\n Wilson missed the last 16 games of his rookie season because of injury but has appeared in all seven games in 2025. He played 27% of offensive snaps over the first six games. <\/p>\n At Michigan, Wilson was the team\u2019s leading receiver during its 2023 national championship season. He played in 46 games (23 starts) during his four-year career, finishing with 107 receptions for 1,707 yards and 20 touchdowns. <\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
