The Calvin Johnson comparison is fun and all, but I think that is not where Claypool is at as a player.Originally Posted by polamalubeast
A DK Metcalf like impact might be a more realistic expectation. Slowly ramps up and impacts mostly on a handful of routes and more as the season moves along...
The steelers had a lot of very good rookie seasons by some rookies WR under Tomlin....Mike Wallace, Sanders, Martavis, JuJu and Johnson.
If Claypool has a rookie season similar to one of his WRs, I'm going to be very happy.And no one expects him to be good like Calvin Johnson!
So has everyone written off James Washington?
He's under the radar, but no
The 4 WRs can have a lot of action this year, if there are injuries, rotations, 4 WR lineup, disappointment and etc.
Some of the rookies WR of the steelers in the past had a lot more playing time than expected like Martavis, JuJu and Johnson ... All of his WRs started slowly in playing time but the more their rookie season progressed, the more playing time they had. ..We never know what can happen in a season, so depth is important… The depth after Antonio Brown in 2016 was a disaster and our passing game was limited only with Brown and a pass to Bell.
He’s gonna have to step up if the Steelers plan to move on from JuJu.
If he is as good as the hype right now,watch out!
