    Steelers sign WR Van Jefferson to 1 year deal

    Former 2nd round of the Rams, traded to Atlanta before the deadline last season. Arthur Smith connection.

    I was a fan of his coming out of Florida. Versatile receiver, but has dealt with drops.

    a few backup #4 WR types signed but we need a legit 2 if they wanna make a real run
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

    Sounds like DJ has been replaced. I’d rather a guy with drops get paid 1.5 mill than 15.

    I think this is more of maybe an Allen Robinson replacement…maybe even Miles Boykin (number 4)?

    Much has been made about the Steelers’ need for a WR2, but Van Jefferson has been sneaky good in camp. Just had a great snag in team drills, and he’s been good for at least one highlight-reel catch a practice.

    barring a trade, looks like Van Jefferson will open the season as our #2 WR.

    Drops can be fixed by correcting technique, that comes with good coaching.

    Catching 300 balls after practice daily exemplifies what Van Jefferson can bring as Steelers WR2

    This guy is a waste of a roster spot. I’d rather have a young guy fighting to prove himself. He adds nothing to the offense. Every time Wilson threw his way today, I thought at first it was Pickens and it would be a big play. I was sadly mistaken. You have to hit Jefferson right in the numbers. And he’s rarely open enough to do that.

    He seems like he's not turning the right ways when the balls are thrown his direction either. Ball is thrown left, he turns right and vice-versa.

    I'd rather have George Jefferson. At least the team would keep, "Movin' on Up, to the top".
