Which rookie Steelers jerseys should you purchase before the season?

4. Take a wait-and-see approach on Calvin Austin III jersey

Normally, I wouldn’t even entertain the thought of purchasing a jersey of a player who was a compensatory fourth-round draft choice without seeing him in extensive NFL action first. Because of his draft status, Cavin Austin jerseys might be hard to come by, but if he gets involved early, that could change.

Austin has some electrifying traits that could certainly make him a fan favorite fairly early in his NFL career, but with so many quality receivers now on the roster and being fourth at best on the depth chart, a lot would have to happen before I would suggest making this purchase.

Two years from now, it’s possible that the Steelers could move on from both Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool. If this happens and Austin becomes the number two receiver on the team, then this is obviously worth exploring.

However, the most likely scenario is that becomes a high-end WR3 for the Steelers. I would suggest taking a wait-and-see approach before making an investment in a Calvin Austin jersey before the season.

There’s a chance that a few of these jerseys become top sellers over the next couple of years. I think a Kenny Pickett jersey is the safest of the group. Whichever you decide to go with, there are certainly some exciting options from the Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 draft class.
