Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool is very confident as he prepares for his third season in the NFL.
Speaking on the “I Am Athlete” podcast with Brandon Marshall, Adam "Pacman" Jones and LeSean McCoy, Claypool said he believes he is one of the best in the NFL, or at least has the potential.
Claypool said he was better last season compared to his rookie year, even with seven fewer touchdowns.
"I’m going to say my second year, I was a better football player than I was my first year, the plays just didn’t work out, some of the plays didn’t go my way, I didn’t make some plays I needed to make,” said Claypool.
But Claypool says he now understands the game better and understands more when it comes to being on the field.
“I’m not normal,” said Claypool. “I feel that way when I’m on the field. I know for a fact I am not like the rest of the guys in the NFL. I know I’m a top-five receiver. I know I’m a top-three receiver.”
Claypool says he knows if he puts the work in, he’ll prove he’s one of the best. He expects to put up 1,300 yards with 10-plus touchdowns.
As for the team, Claypool sees the Steelers winning 13 games.
