Steelers’ Hidden Gem Kaden Wetjen | Pittsburgh Steelers News
Description
The Steelers pulled off a sneaky fourth-round steal with Iowa’s Kaden Wetjen — a return specialist with blazing speed and untapped receiving potential. Despite modest college stats, Wetjen wowed scouts at the Shrine Bowl and shredded the 40-yard dash at the combine, proving he’s got elite athleticism. With Calvin Austin III gone, Wetjen slots right in to energize Pittsburgh’s special teams — already boasting 2,500 return yards and 6 TDs in college, including 3 punt returns for scores. General Manager Omar Khan’s track record with late-round gems adds to the optimism. Wetjen’s path? Start on special teams, then evolve into a receiver — and if he does, this pick could be a steal.
