(From Steelers Wire’s Reece Comfort): Reason: #1: A Much Stronger Supporting Cast
Having D.K. Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., and Germie Bernard as your starting wideouts is a night-and-day difference from last year’s, with just a bunch of backup-level pass catchers in Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek, Adam Thielen, and Scotty Miller. All three of them can do different things individually underneath, intermediate, and deep downfield. If anything, this puts the Steelers near, if not already within, the top half of teams at the wide receiver position. Despite being 42 years old, Aaron Rodgers has plenty to work with heading into year two in Pittsburgh.
