Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Calvin Austin is on track for a breakout year according to his position coach.
PITTSBURGH -- After spending his rookie year sidelined by a preseason injury, Calvin Austin III finally got his feet wet during the 2023 season, appearing in all 17 games and even starting one for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The former fourth-round pick in 2022 is comfortable and now he's starting to turn some heads.
“He’s been outstanding. That’s a guy who’s gone from here to here in just eight weeks," Azzanni said, raising his left hand well above the right to illustrate how far Austin has come. "I mean, it’s been really fun to watch. He’s a worker, he’s intentful, he’s urgent, he wants to be coached and you can see it because his game has done that."
His speed and precise route-running can make him electric with the ball in his hands at times and, with so many different threats on the Steelers offense for opposing defenses to cover, the diminutive Austin can find small gaps in which to make a big impact, like some of his long punt returns or the 72-yard touchdown pass he caught against the Raiders last season.
