Pittsburgh Steelers Draft Watch: North Carolina WR Ryan Switzer

Weaknesses

While I noted in the previous slide that Switzer’s size shouldn’t deter his NFL dreams, it will surely limit his potential. His size limitations will surely restrict his role to the slot, where he can thrive with his quickness.

Switzer also will never be the most physically imposing player on the field. He will not clock the fastest 40-time. He will not shine in the weight room. And he surely won’t strike fear in opposing players during pre game warm ups.

However, Switzer knows how to get open and make big plays in the open field. The Steelers should definitely consider looking at Switzer for these reasons.

Fit

Switzer’s NFL fit may be restricted to teams in need of a slot WR. Luckily, the Steelers are in need of a target to play inside and compliment their outside threats. Switzer could possibly be their man in the later rounds, as he is likely a Day 3 target.

Todd Haley would have yet another chess piece to move around with Switzer, who would perfectly compliment Antonio Brown, Sammie Coates, and hopefully Martavis Bryant on the outside.

I’d definitely recommend all Steeler fans to give Switzer a watch before the end of the College Football season. His electric playmaking abilities are a sight to watch, and he is surely a player I’d love to see in the black and gold.
