I think the Steelers have found their version of the Puka Nacua archetype. Bernard has excellent contact balance and can get open quickly in the underneath and intermediate areas of the field. We saw against the Colts how the Steelers were able to lean on him as a high-volume option. Bernard converted six of his eight targets into catches for a total of 80 yards.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Bernard's Nacua-like deployment and 6-of-8 catch rate signal cornerstone potential.

The source identifies Bernard as the Steelers' version of the Puka Nacua archetype; he has excellent contact balance, gets open quickly in underneath and intermediate areas, and converted six of eight targets for 80 yards (13.3 yards per catch) against the Colts despite an average depth of target of just 6.6 yards; Bernard is also a smart and willing blocker both as an insert block in the running game and downfield, which has become a staple of Pittsburgh's offensive deployment.
