The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a notable addition to their roster by acquiring wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. from the Indianapolis Colts during the first week of free agency. Despite this acquisition, CBS Sports' Zachary Pereles forecasts that the Steelers will further enhance their offense by selecting Omar Cooper Jr. with the 21st pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. Cooper, who played four seasons at Indiana University, recorded 115 receptions for 1,798 receiving yards and scored 22 touchdowns. His ability to get open and gain yards after the catch makes him an ideal fit for the Steelers' offensive strategy, especially alongside existing talents like DK Metcalf and Pittman Jr. Cooper's perseverance at Indiana, where he played through challenging seasons, culminated in a championship title last season, showcasing his growth and potential as a professional player.
