Chase Claypool doesn’t know why the “perspective” of him changed in Pittsburgh, but he is confident things will be different in his fresh start with the Bears.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chase Claypool doesn't know exactly why his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers fizzled out. It's rare for a high draft pick with a successful early-career track record to be traded while on his rookie contract.Get updates on what’s happening in the Chicago area to your inbox.After two seasons of 800-plus receiving yards to start his Steelers career, Claypool says the organization's view of him and his role in their offense changed.
“I just think that at some point – the perspective on me, at some point, was like, ‘oh, he’s not a red-zone threat,’ for some reason. Or, ‘he’s not a deep-ball threat,’ for some reason," Claypool said Wednesday."I’m not sure why that happened. I started getting formationed away from those things. It was hard for me to make big plays because anytime there was a big play drawn up, it was like on the other side. I think it was just like the opportunity.
Claypool sees his fresh start with the Bears as something that will benefit his career. He's happy to find himself on a team that values what he brings to the table and sees him as a potential long-term fit alongside quarterback Justin Fields.
