The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Notre Dame wide receiver Chase Claypool with the 49th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Here's what you need to know about Claypool:

Measurables: 6’4"/238

School: Notre Dame

2019 Stats: 66 receptions, 1,037 yards, 13 TD

Accolades: 2019 Camping World Bowl MVP,

Strengths:

• Strong, physical receiver who knows how to use his size to his advantage to create late catch space.

• Powerful run-blocking skills

• Special teams coverage experience

• Joined Calvin Johnson as only wideout at least 6-foot-4, 235 pounds to run a sub-4.45 40 at combine.

Weaknesses:

• Lacks agility to create separation

• Can sometimes look unprepared/late to get hands up to catch ball

• Not a fluid route runner

"The comparison to former teammate Miles Boykin is an easy one since both have elite size and explosiveness, but Claypool has a higher ceiling and is a little more pro-ready. Claypool doesn't have shake to get much separation underneath, but he's physical inside the route and is adept at making contested catches when needed. He has size/strength/speed to bedevil singled up cornerbacks on 50/50 deep balls. He's a vertical challenger outside, a possession receiver as a big slot, an outstanding run blocker and immediate coverage ace on special teams. His elite traits and diverse skill set could allow him to create a unique footprint as a pro." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com

Tape:

Player Comparison: Devin Funchess

Everyone fell in love with Claypool at the combine, where he drew the Calvin Johnson comparisons, but let's temper expectations just a bit. Devin Funchess is another big-bodied receiver who, while does not have Calvin Johnson-like speed, is still pretty quick for a big guy. So, Claypool probably falls somewhere in the middle, but Johnson is arguably a Hall of Famer, so let's not get carried away.
