Wetjen's dual-threat debut (74-yard catch, TD) validates elite return skills with passing utility.

The fourth-round draft pick from Iowa, selected for his elite return skills (26.8 yards per punt return average in 2025, dwarfing any team's best production in the NFL), showed passing game utility in his preseason debut. He caught a 74-yard pass from Allar to set up the quarterback's rushing touchdown, then scored his own touchdown on a five-yard pass reception to give the Steelers a 21-9 lead in the fourth quarter. The source suggests that adding passing game utility to his return game skills could make him a fixture for the team for years to come.
