The Pittsburgh Steelers are known to have an eye for finding talented wide receivers and it appears they've found another one. In the first half of Sunday's game, rookie Chase Claypool hauled in an 84-yard touchdown from Ben Roethlisberger versus the Denver Broncos.

Once Roethlisberger took the snap and took a three-step drop and immediately turned his attention to Claypool. On the other end, Claypool had man coverage and just needed to beat his defender down the field for the Steelers' score.
Similar to what he showed at the NFL Scouting Combine, even at 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, Claypool can run past defenders with his speed. The Notre Dame product would catch the pass after getting enough separation and would score the first touchdown of his career.
During last week's game versus the New York Giants, Claypool made an impressive grab on the sideline.
After finishing with two receptions for 39 yards in Week 1, Claypool's lone reception thus far in Week 2 for the Steelers is for an 84-yard touchdown.
