Every rep counts. For Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers Roman Wilson, Max Hurleman and Brandon Johnson, they won\u2019t let any chance go to waste. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Wilson said he and two teammates are usually among the last players to leave the practice field.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just try to do as much as I can honestly,\u201d Wilson said via the team website<\/a> when asked about his post-practice routine. \u201cI kind of just feel it out. Try to be one of the last three guys out here. Max and Brandon Johnson are always out here with me and just try to be with them.\u201d<\/p>\n Reporters noticed Wilson stays late to catch extra passes on the JUGs machine. Though the two weren\u2019t teammates, it\u2019s a habit for which Antonio Brown received high praise. During the 2018 training camp, we counted Brown catching over 500 passes afterwards\u00a0during a four-day span.<\/p>\n I counted AB’s catches on the JUGS machine the first four practices (before his quad injury). Number he did each day. <\/p>\n Practice #1 \u2013 129 Total: 513<\/p>\n No GM, no coach near him. Just teammates, waiting in line to follow his lead. https:\/\/t.co\/TVUXLc1qsX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) August 15, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The trio of current receivers are far away from the same glory, but they\u2019re displaying the same work ethic. All three need a big summer. Wilson enters his third season with just 12 career catches, a figure lower than his new No. 14 jersey.<\/a><\/p>\n A tryout player signed out of rookie minicamp last summer, Hurleman flashed early in the preseason but faded near the finish line. He must prove himself all over again to a new coaching staff.<\/p>\n Johnson is a veteran who once caught four touchdowns in 2023 but has only a lone reception since. He\u2019s bounced on and off Pittsburgh\u2019s roster and signed back last month.<\/a><\/p>\n None of them are guaranteed to make the team, though Wilson has the strongest odds.<\/p>\n \u201cThose are the guys who even since last year have been out here every day,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cSo just continue to keep doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
