Jets 4th overall pick Sauce Gardner said the toughest WR had had to cover in his college career was Steelers 4th round pick Calvin Austin III. Austin is a speedster at 5'7 170lbs who ran a 4.32 at the NFL combine. The Steelers needed some speed in the WR room and the additions of Austin and George Pickens certainly help that out. In his career at Memphis, Austin tallied 156 receptions for 2,541 yards and 25 TDs. #Steelers
I'm from Memphis and I tell you this dude is the truth. I really like our picks let's go Steelers. Steelers gone make some noise this year, I can't wait.
@@shinski8114 Pickett is not a project Pickens is not a project Leal needs some work but def not a full project he is the only project we are not rebuilding at all
@@shinski8114 you just soumd stupid. Hes Ganna be the starter out of the preseason into the regular season. The Steelers know what they are doing. Im sure they really DC about what you think about Pickett when they seen that man for 4 Years.
I’m from Memphis and watched him all year, the highlights don’t do justice to how good his hands are. His moves off the line are next level too. He was our main receiver. Heart of warrior.
a bit like jameson williams, i had a tough time to judge their highlight tapes. most of the catches are deep and running away from everybody... if they add more moments, like make defenders missing, moves at the line of scrimmage, those kind of moments i would appreciate...
I cannot believe we got him. All of Friday and Saturday I kept telling everybody that teams that need a WR needa pick this man up and he fell right into our lap. So pumped
Austin's burst is next level. The dude can cover a lot of ground super quick. Big problems for opposing defenses. And we got Pickens, as well. Straight thievery.
Absolute steal! Man when Pittsburgh drafts a WR you know they’re on to something. They just got a knack for em. Now if they can just get a knack for drafting DB’s next too that would be nice lol
@@babukitty2 you’re nuts, there’s some validity to what you’re saying, Ben was the man. But no the Steelers are notorious for having an eye with picking at the WR position within drafts. The proof is in the pudding brother
Being a University of Memphis fan, this was great value where he was picked. Forget about his size he'll be a fan favorite really fast. He loves the big moments and always produced when the lights were on and he's instantly the fastest guy on the team.
or @ 2:10 I can see both Mitchburg and Pickett running that play. Two option screen: DJ on one, Austin on the other and Mapletron on a slant/crack back block.
Love this pick! Reminds me of a smaller Tyreek Hill. If Canada's offense is really about short passing routes, this guy will be perfect. Short route, long gain.
Austin will make an immediate impact this season… you can line him up inside or outside, he brings physicality and a fearless approach and this kid can flat out fucking burn!!!! 🔥 #HereWeGo
Well, we missed Calvin Austin’s rookie year because of injury! I pray this young man can get on the field and stay healthy. One thing you can’t teach is speed. And he can FLY. Watch his acceleration in this video. He’s running away from everyone effortlessly. Welcome to Pittsburgh Calvin.
Actually more excited for this preseason to start than I was last year to see Najee's first NFL run. I love that we could either be decent, or amazing this year.
I missed it, was watching him blaze had to go back and dayum 😂😂😂! I’m from Memphis and watched him all year, the highlights don’t do justice to how good his hands are. His moves off the line are next level too. He was our main receiver. Heart of warrior.
Honestly I think both our wide receivers were wake up calls to our current receivers. If Johnson can’t catch the ball on 3rd down, he can and will be replaced. If claypool can’t catch contested passes consistently, then he can and will be released.
@@jaystrong5018 Not just released, but he could be traded or not resigned…..I think with his little showboat stunt he pulled with time running out and his inability to fight through coverages, he definitely isn’t safe from either being moved or us just not resining him at end of his contract because Pickens can literally do everything he does, but better…. Same goes with Calvin over DJ
Claypool definitely not getting released and most players can't catch contested passes regularly any way. That's why they're 50-50 passes to begin with.
Brady white, True freshman last year? Nah… He began his college football career at Arizona State University in 2015, before becoming a graduate transfer to the University of Memphis, but yea he was a really good QB for Memphis, in his three-year stint from 2018-20 he lit it up, He is the Tigers all-time leader in wins, passing yards & TD’s. He was invited to the Tennessee Titans’ rookie minicamp after going undrafted but didn’t earn an invitation to training camp. Now he plays for the Tampa Bay Bandits in USFL
Hey SNH I just wanna say thank you for posting these so quickly after drafts. I always watch YOUR videos for highlights during every draft and without a doubt you always show what needs to be. Thank you sir.
Welcome to dionte’s replacement, & good news, he played in a tougher conference against tougher secondaries, he is physical & HE DOESNT DROP THE BALL, welcome to Pittsburgh!!
As a Memphis fan, I can tell you this guy is legit. Blazing speed, can catch a tough catch, he is amazing. He was a man among boys in college. I think it will translate to the NFL, even though everyone is a man there.
this might be my new favorite steeler if he plays like this in the nfl thanks to this video!!!great choice of music man it gave me those tavon Austin wvu highlight tape vibes 🔥 man can this guy fucking run, his ball skills are great too, Canada u got weapons baby don’t let us down
Honestly his run after catch might be the best on our WR squad he has good hands good route running but honestly I don’t see beating Pickens at WR 3 can’t wait to see him on the field tho
Man the Steelers are seriously better than they were the last game they played, and I'm so f****n excited to see them play this season. That 7th hasn't looked so clear.
WOW, The things that I am seeing on this video is crazy....! The Steelers will have another dimension to there offense 🙄 that I haven't seen in Steel city football... Excellent Pick in the last rounds. He can play outside or inside...!! Here we go Steelers..!!!
I saw a photo of him catching it, and though he's only 5/7, it looked like he had these HUGE gloved clown hands. The Steelers have had a couple mini WR's over the years, but they rarely get open. I read this kid is a good route runner and studies DB tendencies. He will be deadly for us.
This is why I never question tomlin,Colbert or the Rooney’s always prepared for the next man up Pickett or Mitch with najee, muth, claypool, Johnson, him and Pickens with Johnson contract year coming up and the news he wanting a ton of money we won’t need him would b nice defense is incredible with the addition to kazee so excited to see what we do and can’t wait to go to training camp n the home games
Fucking love the pick. You got your number 1 on DJ ( the sure hands) your big guy on Claypool ( hope he's got hops like claypool) next best on Pickens( bigger name bigger school) this leaves your fourth best DB against our speedster? HERE WE GO
Aye look all I know is that we got talent everywhere GREAT additions in the draft. I feel real comfortable goin into the season cus everybody is gonna be in a dog fight for the starting role. Ik some are not high on the Kenny pick but if y’all were really thinking that we were gonna copy the league and get these superstar QBs you’re sadly mistaken! We do NOT need that.. just a QB who does his job! Who can keep the offense alive and play with a lead. There’s other ways to stop these high powered offenses around the league and y’all really think it ONLY has to be a shootout but was complaining in 2020 when all we did was pass. I love our Yinz but be honest .. y’all think y’all know it all lmao
@@RealIceMyke Yeah like you know what it takes to be a GM these ppl study players 24/7 while you jus seeing short glimpses of highlights and criticize them before they even start their NFL journey
In case anyone wondering... This instrumental is from Kid Ink "Kid Ink- Hell & Back" 💙 he's released music recently too. Super fire. All of it's on his UA-cam channel. I'd also recommend Time Of Your Life, Lost In The Sauce and his HUGE hit Just Want It All.
Used the music instrumental from the viral tavon Austin highlight reel and rightfully so🔥 dude is lightning quick and reminds me of West Virginia tavon Austin
I saw someone gave the Steelers a C draft grade. I strongly disagree. I love this draft class and the offensive fire power we acquired. We got some nice UDFA pick ups as well. Lets get it!
I can think of 3 or 4 jet sweeps where if he would’ve had the ball it would’ve been a long TD this past season… plus it’s hard to tell the plays he could’ve made from screens and in the slot. Can’t wait!!!!

He’s a lot faster than 4.32 though
Claypool, 4.42 40-yard dash, Boykin 4.42 and Miller 4.38! Bad Motor Scooters!
True indeed we are going to have one of the most explosive bunch! I’m Geeked
Wide receiver is definitely never an issue for the steelers and i love it
I love this dude and he's going to burn 🔥 the sssshhh out of these defenses just u wait n c what I mean yall!!!!!

It’s always good to get a track and field receiver
This man flew at the combine hand timing screwed him he blazed dbs his whole time at Memphis and he bout to blaze as a STILLER 🔥💯⚡️⚡️⚡️🏈
When he catches that ball, he’s out of the blocks like a sprinter.
Pittsburgh steelers is going to be great

Yup frvwe saw that a lot
Yes, like every other play
or @ 2:10 I can see both Mitchburg and Pickett running that play. Two option screen: DJ on one, Austin on the other and Mapletron on a slant/crack back block.
He finishes strong too, gotta love it.
Love this pick! Reminds me of a smaller Tyreek Hill. If Canada's offense is really about short passing routes, this guy will be perfect. Short route, long gain.

Love this kid he’s going to be a playmaker for years to come great pick!!!
Had to watch this again to remind how good he is!!!!
Always in the end zone 🤩
With a strengthened OL and all these weapons on offense, led by Najee, it's going to be a wild mesmerizing ride Steeler fans.
Actually more excited for this preseason to start than I was last year to see Najee's first NFL run. I love that we could either be decent, or amazing this year.
That acceleration. 0:42 so fast the 3 defensive guys tackled each other. 😂

Mike Wallace

Man who's the QB! He's making some sick throws!
Brady white and a True Freshman last yr.

I don't care about his height, he is elusive, I can already tell he'll be a decent receiver, I don't want to jump the gun but Ty Hill anyone?
I was telling everyone he can end up being like tyreek hill I cant wait to see him on the field
CA + DJ = EXPLOSIVE
This guy is going to be exciting to watch in the slot! He has some great speed!
Hey SNH I just wanna say thank you for posting these so quickly after drafts. I always watch YOUR videos for highlights during every draft and without a doubt you always show what needs to be. Thank you sir.
I appreciate you !!
We needed that burning over the top speed and it looks like we got it right CA3… super pleased with the pick

Memphis fan here, all facts. The highlights don’t do justice to how good his hands are. His moves off the line are next level too.
absolutely love the one clip where after he scores, he turns around to acknowledge his teammate and his block!!! LETSGOSTEELERS!
this might be my new favorite steeler if he plays like this in the nfl thanks to this video!!!great choice of music man it gave me those tavon Austin wvu highlight tape vibes 🔥 man can this guy fucking run, his ball skills are great too, Canada u got weapons baby don’t let us down
finally someone recognized the song! Austin-Austin throwback
Honestly his run after catch might be the best on our WR squad he has good hands good route running but honestly I don’t see beating Pickens at WR 3 can’t wait to see him on the field tho
Use him for like screen plays and special teams or even sweep or something and long balls
He may be Diontaes replacement, that’s how I look at it. They’re not paying him 20 million, and if they do, it’s a bad move imo.
He could easily get on the field early on for screens and jet sweeps
Austin's speed should force the deep safety to back off the line. You can't let a guy this fast get behind you. That will even help our running game.
DJ lead the league in YAC with duck at qb with 2/3 the receptions a lot of others did. Can’t say he’s better than that without playing
We go have it going on! GO STEELERS
As a Patriots fan I have to say that you got maybe the biggest steal of the draft here.
Good for you guys
and you also got Christian Watson so yeah, this might be rough for us for the next years
Great Vid! And this music hard!!
Man the Steelers are seriously better than they were the last game they played, and I'm so f****n excited to see them play this season. That 7th hasn't looked so clear.
1.Obviously pull away fast
2.Knows the rules of the game/run back TD on kick
3.Instant tribute to key blocker in end zone.
When you find out Baltimore was gonna draft him it makes it that much sweeter 🤣 this guy is gonna turn heads ✊🏾
It’s fine Kyle hamilton will lay his ass out

Steelers future go to all everything.⚡🐝
Yessir Steelers my favorite team
The new slot receiver and probably even the new punt returner that takes Ray Ray McCloud's spot.
If he can transition his game to a pro level, the Steelers will have a threatening receiver core !!👊🏽
👍
Really looking forward to the upcoming season.
It's gonna be a lot of fun!😁

Ok this replaces Washington and mcloud with givens and Austin.
Can we address the o line and cbs now?
@ Yes to the cowgirls
@ lmao jus a little
Shorter guy with great speed = everyone assumes he's the next Tyreek Hill.
