Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson could step up in his second season.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson could step up in his second season. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers traded away star wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys earlier this offseason, so they would love someone to step up and replace him in the 2025 season. Advertisement In a recent article by PFF's Ryan Smith, he picks 10 second-year players who could make a bigger impact in 2025 than they did in their rookie seasons. While his case is a bit different, one of the players he picks is Steelers receiver Roman Wilson. "Wilson had a rookie season to forget in 2024, as he suffered an ankle injury in the Steelers' first padded practice... His NFL debut in Week 6 lasted just five snaps before a hamstring injury ended his campaign for good," Smith wrote. "Moving forward, Wilson has an opportunity to step up into a bigger role... Pittsburgh has very little depth at wide receiver behind recently acquired D.K. Metcalf, and the team will need his production to contend in a tough AFC North division." Wilson was not able to show what he is capable of in his rookie season due to injuries, but there is a reason the Steelers selected him in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. In his final season with the Michigan Wolverines, the 23-year-old wideout tallied up 789 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, and was a key part in his team winning the National Championship. Advertisement Multiple sources have said that Wilson is impressing in Steelers OTAs, so he will be looking to show that promise when the 2025 regular season starts.

Arias homers to lead Drive past Emperors, 7-2
GREENVILLE, S.C. (Greenville Drive) — Franklin Arias homered and drove in two runs while Eduardo Rivera struck out eight over 5 2/3 strong innings as the Greenville Drive rolled past the Rome Emperors 7–2 on Sunday afternoon at Fluor Field, taking the six-game series five games to one. A four-run third inning and a three-run sixth provided more than enough offense for the Drive (30–27), who capped off a dominant week and climbed three games over .500. Rome (27–30) was held to just one hit in seven at-bats with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base. Rivera (3–1) turned in another sharp outing, scattering six hits and allowing just one run — a solo homer by E.J. Exposito in the sixth — while striking out eight and walking one. Erik Rivera and Darvin Garcia combined for 3 1/3 innings of relief to close out the win. Arias finished 2-for-5 and launched a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth, part of a three-hit inning that helped Greenville pull away. Yophery Rodriguez added two hits, including a double and a stolen base, while Freili Encarnacion went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. The Drive broke open a scoreless tie in the third after Rodriguez and Nelly Taylor reached base to set the table. Antonio Anderson singled, and Nazzan Zanetello followed with an RBI knock to left that plated two. A throwing error by Rome left fielder Jace Grady allowed a third run to score, and Brooks Brannon added a fourth on a fielder's choice that was mishandled by shortstop Lizandro Espinoza. Rome starter Cedric De Grandpre (1–1) took the loss, charged with four runs — three earned — over three innings. He struggled with command, walking three and allowing four hits in his 69-pitch outing. After Exposito's solo shot in the sixth, Greenville responded quickly. Brannon led off the home half with a single, and Encarnacion followed with a double to left. Justin Riemer's sacrifice fly brought home Brannon before Arias connected on a two-run blast down the right-field line off Rome reliever Samuel Strickland to make it 7–1. Exposito, the lone bright spot offensively for Rome, went 3-for-4 and accounted for both runs — adding an RBI single in the eighth. But the rest of the Emperors lineup struggled to solve Greenville's pitching, striking out 12 times. The Drive out-hit Rome 10–7 and took advantage of three defensive errors by the Emperors, two of which led directly to early runs. Greenville finished the series having outscored Rome 33–14 over the six-game stretch. The Drive return to action Tuesday as they hit the road to face the Hudson Valley Renegades for a six-game series. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
