Steelers rumors: WR sends cryptic tweet, veteran LB signed and more

Here’s to you, Mr. Robinson: Kenny Pickett and Allen Robinson pair up

The Steelers did not draft a wide receiver this year, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t add one to the roster. Khan swung a deal with the Los Angeles Rams and picked up talented Allen Robinson in what amounted to a swap of seventh-round picks. He and quarterback Kenny Pickett plan to take advantage of geography and some “down time” over the next few weeks to work on their rapport.

“That is the plan,” explained Robinson last week (via Joe Rutter of TribLive.com). We’ve talked it through. We’re both in New Jersey, so it can happen.”

“I love Allen,” said the second-year signal-caller. “He shows up every day with the mindset that he wants to work and get better. When you have that, you’re going to get there sooner or later. Definitely sooner with him because of his work ethic and how much communication he has with myself and the stuff we’ve been doing when no one’s watching.

“I think those things go a long way,” added Pickett. “We’ll get caught up quickly. I think we’re pretty much close to being there.”

Intriguing times in the Steel City indeed. The Steelers seem to be making all the right moves. Will the work and aggressiveness pay off in 2023?
