The rookie receiver had not flashed the return skills that the Steelers drafted him in the fourth round for back in April. That was, until the fourth quarter of this one. The Iowa product took a punt back 44 yards for a touchdown that put his team ahead, 27-17. He broke multiple tackles on the play to show why he averaged nearly 30 yards per punt return during his final season with the Hawkeyes.

Wetjen's 44-yard punt return TD solidifies his 53-man roster spot.

The rookie receiver, drafted in the fourth round for return skills, delivered a 44-yard punt return touchdown in the fourth quarter that broke multiple tackles and showcased the nearly 30 yards per punt return average he posted in his final season at Iowa. The explosive play was badly needed to solidify his spot on the 53-man roster ahead of cut-down day, as his passing game contributions remain limited and expectations for him are low in that realm; the Steelers need him to shine on special teams, and he came through in a big way.
