Last year, the Steelers drafted wide receiver Roman Wilson in the third round, but only got six snaps out of him as a rookie, thanks to ankle and hamstring injuries. This year, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers believes Wilson can be a big part of the offense.<\/p>\n
Wilson has played very well in the preseason, and Rodgers said Wilson is showing the same things on the practice field and in the meeting rooms.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s improving every day,\u201d said Rodgers. \u201cYou can\u2019t skew the results from the details. You look at his game the other night, he made a couple splash plays. But we\u2019re going to coach him hard. His receiver coach, Art [Smith], and myself on the details, because the details are what make the difference. And even though he had a couple of big plays, there\u2019s some room for improvement there. Wouldn\u2019t say anything if we just thought he was going to be a guy, just any guy that could you throw in. But I think he has a chance to be a big-time talent in the league. So, we\u2019re going to hold him to a high standard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rodgers said he\u2019s going to be tough on Wilson at times because he wants to make sure Wilson is reaching his full potential.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really happy with him, the way he\u2019s played. But we\u2019re going to hold him to a standard of excellence that I think he\u2019s capable of reaching,\u201d Rodgers said.<\/p>\n
Wilson may enter the season as only the Steelers\u2019 fifth or sixth receiver, but Rodgers believes there\u2019s potential for him to make a significant impact when he\u2019s called upon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last year, the Steelers drafted wide receiver Roman Wilson in the third round, but only got six snaps…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96824,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-96823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96823\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
