Pittsburgh Steelers weigh rookie receivers Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson at training camp

Head coach Mike McCarthy said the competition between rookie wide receivers Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson is driven by opportunity rather than a set slot, emphasizing that both players have shown the ability to play all three receiver positions. McCarthy praised Wilson’s versatility after seeing his performance in OTAs, while Bernard impressed with his work ethic and received encouragement from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who noted Wilson’s strong spring showing.

Veteran receiver DK Metcalf reflected on the change brought by McCarthy’s offensive leadership, saying the new offensive‑focused coaching style affects how the team handles mistakes. Metcalf also discussed the upcoming plan to use him in varied formations this season after a modest statistical year, highlighting his three 1,000‑yard seasons and his $33 million annual salary under a recent contract extension.
