The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected arguably the greatest return specialist of the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting an Iowa Hawkeye with the first of their Day 3 picks.

Iowa wide receiver Kaden Wetjen, selected by the Steelers with the 121st overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, may go down as one of the biggest steals of the draft.

From 2023 to 2025, Wetjen returned 57 punts for 954 yards and touchdowns, in addition to 56 kickoffs for 1,538 yards and two touchdowns.

While his receiving numbers are almost non-existent, Wetjen presents the Steelers with an absolute game-changer in the return game, while also giving the Steelers much-needed depth.
