Wilson's 2024 rookie season was a wash, even though the Steelers badly needed help at wide receiver. After going in the third round, 84th overall, Wilson played just one game all season, missing Week 1 with an ankle injury and Weeks 7-18 with a hamstring injury. In between the two injury stints, he was a healthy scratch four times and played just five snaps in his lone appearance. Steelers GM Omar Khan said in February that Wilson might have contributed in the playoffs had the team advanced beyond the first round, and it now seems he has a shot at the No. 2 WR role for his second pro season. With 4.39 speed at 5-foot-11, 185, Wilson profiles as a perimeter receiver who runs a lot of downfield routes, which would make it difficult to get a lot of targets in an offense with DK Metcalf at wide receiver and run-first coordinator Arthur Smith calling plays.
