Yahoo Sports NFL on Germie Bernard
From the article
Bernard made quite the impact in his limited playing time. He drew eight targets, which equates to a target share of roughly 17 percent. For comparison, DK Metcalf led the team in target share in 2025 with 19.5%. Bernard turned those targets into five receptions for 64 yards (12.8 Y/REC) and a score.
STACKED’s take
Bernard's 17% preseason target share and versatility suggest quick role expansion.
Second-round rookie Germie Bernard is absent from the Steelers' initial depth chart but the source expects him to see significant playing time soon, unlike first-rounder Max Iheanachor. Bernard impressed in preseason with 48 passing snaps, drawing eight targets (17% target share, compared to DK Metcalf's 19.5% in 2025), converting them into five receptions for 64 yards (12.8 Y/REC) and a touchdown. He created 46 yards after the catch, forced nearly as many missed tackles (4) as receptions, and operated at an average depth of target of just 7.0 yards. Aaron Rodgers praised Bernard for not repeating mistakes, and the source believes Bernard is a far more versatile piece than Roman Wilson, capable of playing all three receiver positions.
