Steelers vs Bucs: WR Calvin Austin turns on the jets for a long touchdown

Calvin Austin Steelers Bucs Calvin Austin III Kenny Pickett Mason Rudolph

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted wide receiver Calvin Austin III in 2022 so they could utilize his elite speed to create mismatches in the secondary. Unfortunately, a foot injury cost Austin his entire rookie campaign.

But Austin is back and no sooner did he get on the field in Friday’s preseason showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he made sure everyone knew he was healthy.

Austin took a beautifully thrown ball by quarterback Mason Rudolph and practically walked into the end zone for a 67-yard touchdown reception. Austin just blew past Tampa cornerback Derrek Pitts and Pitts makes a desperate play on the football knowing he isn’t going to catch the speedy Austin.
