Episode Details

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.
