McCarthy had the same thing to say about Roman Wilson. "They're crushing it, frankly....it's best for our receivers to play all three positions to create opportunities for our receivers," he said. Bernard figures to move around his rookie season, but his best chance to more playing time could be in the slot.

The Steelers signed No. 47 overall pick WR Germie Bernard to a four-year contract.

Bernard lands the deal on the first day of voluntary OTAs for Pittsburgh. He is expected to compete for an immediate role, potentially in the slot for the Steelers offense. He'll be a player worth monitoring heading into OTAs and training camp.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected WR Germie Bernard with the No. 47 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Pittsburgh was rumored to potentially trade up for a wide receiver and they did so here. After trading for Michael Pittman Jr. earlier in the offseason, they now draft Bernard to join DK Metcalf in the wide receiver room for Pittsburgh. Bernard was the No. 1 wide receiver at Alabama last season and could slide right into the slot for the Steelers.
