In Year 2, the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to Roman Wilson to step up as a key contributor following a quiet rookie season. Despite entering the league with high expectations due to the Steelers' history of developing talented receivers, Wilson's impact was minimal, seeing only five snaps and no targets in 2024.

Head coach Mike Tomlin addressed Wilson's lack of usage, emphasizing that being healthy doesn’t always equate to being ready for game action. He expressed optimism for Wilson's development, drawing parallels to Calvin Austin, who overcame a similar rookie setback to become a valuable asset. The Steelers aim for Wilson to continue the legacy of success with late-round receiver picks, a tradition they’ve cultivated with players like JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson.
