Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin III's limited opportunities in his first two seasons may have been due to the team's focus on Allen Robinson's blocking, according to Mark Kaboly. Despite being fast and skilled, Austin struggled to showcase his abilities. Kaboly believes Austin could have a more significant role in the upcoming season and be more productive.

By the Numbers
  • Calvin Austin III has 180 career receiving yards on 17 catches.
  • Austin's only regular-season touchdown was a 72-yard reception.
State of Play
  • Calvin Austin III received limited playing time in his first two seasons with the Steelers.
  • Allen Robinson's blocking prowess was valued by the team, potentially overshadowing Austin's receiving abilities.
  • Austin's speed was a highlight from college, but challenges in the Steelers' offensive scheme limited his deep threat potential.
Bottom Line

Calvin Austin III's future role with the Steelers could become more significant following the departure of Allen Robinson, offering a chance for him to contribute more significantly to the team's offense.
