Roman Wilson gets first team reps with Justin Fields.

Since drafting former Michigan wideout Roman Wilson in the 3rd round, reports from Steelers minicamp and OTA’s have been very quiet regarding his progress and where he fell on a depth chart appears to be wide open after George Pickens.  Today we finally got an update regarding Wilson, as he received first team reps in the slot from a 3 wide receiver look with Van Jefferson and Pickens lined up wide.  He was able to haul in a pass from fields over the middle, an encouraging report after what seems like an abnormal amount of radio silence for a team known for drafting wide receivers very well on day 2 and 3 of the NFL draft.

 

Roman Wilson profiles as a shifty slot receiver with plenty of opportunity to carve out a role for himself in his rookie season with the Steelers.  He is currently the second receiver off of the board at wr73 on underdog, a price tag that makes him a decent dice roll for boom plays and upside.
