They don\u2019t have a defined No. 2 receiver, so he should get a lot of targets. He\u2019s got a rare combination of size and athleticism, which makes him dangerous against almost any defense. However, his cousin, TJ Metcalf, would love to get the chance to cover him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Ir7wJoDEH6A?si=Kohu7G1RwFSSV9yV\">Appearing on the YouTube channel Light On College Sports,<\/a> TJ Metcalf, who is a defensive back at the University of Michigan, said he\u2019d love to one day be able to cover his cousin if he makes it to the NFL. He\u2019s spent the past two seasons at the University of Arkansas, and this year should be a big one for him. Hopefully, one day he\u2019ll get the chance to make his dream come true.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michigan\u2019s TJ Metcalf Shares His Football Journey In Full Interview With Cole Neely\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ir7wJoDEH6A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>ROOKIES HELP YOUTH FOOTBALL<\/h3>\n<p>Steelers rookies have worked hard this week to help the Pittsburgh community. They\u2019re talented players and they should help the team on the field this year, but it\u2019s nice to see them having a positive impact in the city. Recently, two undrafted rookies worked to help youth football players.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteelersYouthFB\/status\/1936065249209209106\">Steelers Youth Football shared on Twitter<\/a> that offensive linemen Gareth Warren and Aiden Williams were at Saint Vincent College to help with a youth football camp. That\u2019s where the Steelers host training camp, so hopefully, Warren and Williams are back there in a few weeks. While they both went undrafted, they could make the final roster if they work hard enough.<\/p>\n<h3>THINGS ROOKIES COULDN\u2019T LIVE WITHOUT<\/h3>\n<p>The Steelers\u2019 rookie class recently got their first taste of NFL action in OTAs and mandatory minicamp. However, they\u2019re still a few months away from getting into an actual NFL game. Until then, the team has been working to help familiarize fans with these new faces,<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the Steelers <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/QDJC2NQH7d8?si=BafJrBN8KJPSJvit\">posted a video on their YouTube channel<\/a> asking rookies to name one thing that they couldn\u2019t live without. Some, like Kaleb Johnson and Derrick Harmon, named material possessions like their computer or car. Others, like Will Howard and Carson Bruener, opted to choose their family. Jack Sawyer took a different approach, picking football. They\u2019re all fun and good answers, though.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What's something you can't live without?
