Over the past week, CB Joe Haden has had a chance to go up against Chase Claypool, the Steelers' first pick in the 2020 draft. During Pittsburgh's first padded practice of training camp, Haden was matched up against Claypool during "Seven Shots," a goal line drill pitting Pittsburgh's starting defense against its starting offense. Haden, defending a back-shoulder fade into the end zone, figured he was in a good position against the 6-foot-4 Claypool.
Haden later took his praise to Twitter, proclaiming that Pittsburgh's new receiver is "going to be a PROBLEM" for opposing defenses.
Haden went on to praise Claypool's size, speed and his ability to adjust to the ball in the air. Claypool, who caught 13 touchdown passes for the Fighting Irish last season, is hoping to make an immediate impact in the red zone, an area of the field where Pittsburgh struggled in 2019 after boasting the NFL's top-ranked red zone offense in 2018, the story said.
