There's been so much talk about Antonio Brown this offseason, that you'd be forgiven for forgetting about the receivers actually on the Pittsburgh Steelers' roster. JuJu Smith-Schuster will absolutely be the top wideout, but after him the depth chart is a bit unsettled.

The team signed Donte Moncrief and also has second-year player James Washington, but they'll likely both be playing on the outside. There will be an interesting battle this offseason to be the team's starting slot receiver, with Ryan Switzer and Eli Rogers competing.

Rogers has more experience with the team, but it looks like that might not matter.

“Ryan Switzer seems stronger,” Jim Wexell of 247Sports wrote of Switzer, who is entering his third NFL season. “He looks to be ahead of Eli Rogers in the race for the small, elusive slot receiver.”

Switzer has switched homes a lot during his brief time in the league. Originally drafted by the Cowboys in 2017, he was traded to the Raiders after his rookie season. Shortly after, he was flipped to the Steelers.

In his first season in Pittsburgh, he put up 36 receptions for 253 yards, while also serving as the team's primary returner.

He's looking for a bigger role on offense this year, and we already know quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is a fan of his.

“Just be dependable,” Roethlisberger said last season when asked what Switzer had done to earn playing time. “Be a guy that is where he is supposed to be. Tough little booger. He makes a lot of plays, gets hit a lot, but just doesn’t make a lot of the same mistakes twice.”

If he has Roethlisberger's trust, he's well on his way to earning more targets.

If he's passed Rogers on the depth chart, he likely won't be giving up his spot anytime soon.
