Back to EpisodesSteelers Host Bell, Metcalf's Future Uncertain
Description
The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to bolster their wide receiver corps for the 2026 season, even after drafting Michael Pittman Jr. They have scheduled pre-draft visits with three college standouts, including UConn wideout Skyler Bell, Miami defensive back Jakobe Thomas, and BYU linebacker Jack Kelly. Bell, a 23-year-old with five college seasons under his belt, had a standout year at UConn, catching 101 passes for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns. His size, quick routes, and red-zone prowess make him an attractive option for the Steelers quick-pass scheme. The visit could spell trouble for DK Metcalf, the 28-year-old Pro Bowler traded to the Steelers last season, who underperformed in his first year with the team. The Steelers have three third-round picks and a history of drafting receivers, so they may consider trading Metcalf and drafting a younger player if Bell or another prospect impresses in workouts.
