Rogers still projects as the Steelers' top slot receiver, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The Pittsburgh receiving corps got a major boost this offseason with the addition of second-round selection JuJu Smith-Schuster as well as the return of Martavis Bryant from a year-long suspension. The team has been testing Smith-Schuster in the slot, presumably figuring there won't be many reps for him outside so long as Bryant and Antonio Brown are both healthy. While that might seem to put Rogers' role in serious danger, the 2015 UDFA won't be easy to unseat after producing 594 yards on 66 targets (9.0 YPT) in 13 games last season. Smith-Schuster's draft pedigree will encourage the team to get him involved, but he may largely have to settle for a spot in four-wide sets early in the season.
