Pittsburgh Steelers Target Gritty WR Germie Bernard

On April 5, Pittsburgh Steelers just beefed up their wide receiver game by trading from

Michael Pittman, Jr., from the Indianapolis Colts, paring.

Him with their star duo, but new head coach Mike McCarthy still needs serious death behind

those top guys, and with 12 draft picks, they might grab two more receivers.

ESPN draft guru Jordan Reed is calling Alabama's Jeremy Bernard a prime target for the

Steel City.

He's the consensus 55th best prospect overall, sitting 43rd on ESPN's bigboard, and 9th among

wide receivers in this class.

Fans and analysts love how Bernard brings that gritty, physical style, Pittsburgh craves.

He's a big dude who uses strength and smarts to win battles, not just raw speed, and he's

a beast blocking for the run too.

Bernard has tons of college tape, with 52 games under his belt, including bowl runs.

Last season, he led Alabama in receiving yards, even in their Rose Bowl loss to the

national champ Indiana Hoosiers.

Picture him like Deebo Samuel, lining up inside or out, tough after the catch and versatile

all around.

As the Steelers retool, keep eyes on Bernard to shore up that depth from McCarthy Squad.
