Steelers take Notre Dame WR Chase Claypool at no. 49

PITTSBURGH -- Chase Claypool has big play potential. He is also very big himself. At pick 49 in the second round of the NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected the talented Wide Receiver out of Notre Dame.

Claypool will fit in nicely to an offense that struggled last season in the absence of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Standing 6 foot 4 and weighing 253 pounds, Claypool clocked an impressive 40 time of 4.45. Claypool is the second receiver in NFL history to clock a forty time sub-4.45 at that height and weight since Calvin Johnson.

Ben Roethlisberger has loved big targets in his tenure with the black and gold, and this fills a need that has been present since the departure of Antonio Brown.
