Watkins appeared in nine games for the Eagles last season, catching 15 passes on 21 targets for 142 yards and one touchdown. He appeared in all 17 games in both 2021 and 2022, totaling 76 catches for 1,001 yards and four touchdowns in that span.
Watkins was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Southern Mississippi. The Steelers also signed Van Jefferson earlier in the offseason, who spent last season with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith in Atlanta with the Falcons.
The Steelers’ current wide receivers room consists of George Pickens, Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, and Quez Watkins. Other noteworthy veterans that will be competing for a roster spot include Denzel Mims, Marquez Callaway.
