Gary Jennings

Gary Jennings seemed to be overlooked by the breakout of his wide receiver counterpart David Stills. However, for the Steelers, Jennings has the better skill set to breakout in the NFL.

Jennings is more of a vertical threat with NFL speed and a decent jump ball ability. He’s not much of a mid-round pick but more of a sleeper that Pittsburgh can find, and would love to find, near the third-round of the draft.

He’s not Antonio Brown, but implementing Jennings into the offense with JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Washington means the Steelers have a strong middle of the field option and two young deep threats for Ben Roethlisberger.

Without adding age, this receiving core could be one of the youngest in football with some quiet superstars waiting to break out.
