Sammie Coates

Grade C

We still have not seen a ton from the Auburn product entering his second year in the league.Coatescan step into a game and make a catch when called upon. He is a big receiver and had high upside coming out of college, the hopes are high for this young man.

Coates might see more action this year with the absence of Bryant. Having almost 1,800 yards in his three year in college shows he can play this game at a high level. He understands what he has to do to make it on the field.

This young player puts in the work needed to be as good as he can be. Lack of experience might be holding him back for now. So far this young man from Leroy, Alabama is putting in work on the practice field. It can only be a good thing for his future here in Pittsburgh.
