#Auburn WR Anthony Schwartz has the deep speed (former track star) to take the top off the defense. A versatile WR that can play both inside/outside.
He has met/will meet virtually with the #Patriots, #Seahawks, #Steelers, #Jets, #Chargers, #Colts, #Saints and #Titans.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have an impressive cast of skill-position players on offense. One type of player they do not have is a guy with game-breaking speed. We’ve already talked about how the Steelers need to focus on speed in the upcoming NFL draft and they might just be listening.
According to NFL draft writer Justin Melo, the Steelers had a virtual meeting with Auburn wide receiver Anthony Schwartz. And make no mistake about it, no player in the upcoming draft brings the speed like Schwartz. He also ran on the Auburn track team and ran a 10.07 100m and claims to have run a 4.27 40-yard dash going into his senior year of high school.
Schwartz is far from a complete receiver with most of his yards coming off of go routes and slip screens but even at his most raw he is exactly what the Steelers need. Pittsburgh is great at finding mid-round gems at wide receiver and Schwartz could be the next one.
