Steelers 53-man roster prediction right before training camp starts

Receivers and tight ends stay pretty clear at the moment

Receivers (6): Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, George Pickens, Calvin Austin III, Miles Boykin, Gunner Olszewski

The starting three on offense at the receiver position is still in the air now. Diontae Johnson is the number one option yet again and he deserves that spot. Chase Claypool and George Pickens will have time to figure out who plays in the slot or the opposite outside position of Johnson. The Steelers have a lot of options to figure out who should start at which position once the season begins.

Calvin Austin III is a shifty speed receiver that would be a great backup option in the slot. He could always emerge as a starter on offense, but it seems like he will slowly be integrated in. Miles Boykin is a big target that could have some untapped potential and provides some depth on the outside. Gunner Olszewski will be a return man and make the team off that, as he does not provide much as a receiver.

Tight ends (3): Pat Freiermuth, Zach Gentry, Connor Heyward

Pat Freiermuth is back and should become a top five tight end in the NFL during this upcoming season. He was one of the best rookies to play the position in NFL history. Zach Gentry is a nice reliable option that has really come along as a blocker. Connor Heyward makes the Steelers roster and beats out Kevin Rader based on his versatility and youth.
