6 receivers with serious speed Steelers must sign in 2022
By Andrew Falce
Steelers could sign Raymond
While Kalif Raymond only finds himself in the middle of this list, he is an option that I could see the Steelers exploring this offseason. His career started off extremely slowly, and it seemed like he was going to be out of the league before finding a spot with the Titans in 2019. There, he served as a return man and occasional deep threat.
The Lions brought him in the last offseason with the expectation for him to serve in a similar role. However, due to the Lions completely lacking receiving options, he actually became a regular contributor on the offense. He had a career year as a receiver, even though his average yards per catch dipped from the high teens to 12 yards per catch last season.
Raymond is an example of a receiver who does more with less. When counted on as a starter, his receiving average dipped as he was used more in the short game. The Steelers could add him and use him similarly to how the Titans used him. He is a good deep threat with return abilities to boot. He should be a quality addition if the team wants a cheap and younger deep threat.
