More concerning was rookie return specialist Kaden Wetjen fumbling on one punt return and bobbling another... Still, I wouldn't be too worried; there are some expected NFL jitters to overcome as a rookie, and Wetjen's high-end burst was obvious on a 13-yard return in the third quarter.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Wetjen's fumble and bobble on returns raise concerns despite high-end burst potential.

The source notes that rookie return specialist Kaden Wetjen fumbled on one punt return and bobbled another. While the source acknowledges the excuse of it being his second-ever NFL game is fair, it's less so for a rookie drafted primarily for special teams where it's imperative to impress even in small sample sizes. The source notes another mistake next week could lead to legitimate concerns over what the Steelers do at returner entering September, though the source wouldn't be too worried given expected NFL jitters and Wetjen's high-end burst evident on a 13-yard return in the third quarter.
