All of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ pass catchers with contracts through 2024 are those who had more than three receptions in the previous campaign. However, Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report continued to support the Steelers’ pursuit of veteran receiver Noah Brown in NFL free agency on February 14.
“A physical possession-based wide receiver who can complement [Diontae] Johnson and [George] Pickens would be useful to the Steelers,” Tansey wrote.
“Noah Brown’s 6’2”, 215-pound frame fits that description.
“Brown would enable [Pat] Freiermuth to be one of Pickett’s trusted options across the middle and he could relieve some of the pressure on Johnson and Pickens when it comes to wide receiver production.”
In 2023, Brown was not just physically strong but also a big-play machine for the Houston Texans. With two touchdowns, he recorded 33 receptions for 567 yards, an average of a career-high 17.2 yards per reception.
