Antwaan Randle El didn't get a chance to watch many <a href="http://nfl.fanhouse.com/team/Pittsburgh-<a href="http://www.nflshops.co.uk/jerseys-uk/Pittsburgh-steelers/">Steelers"><a href="http://www.nflshops.co.uk/jerseys-uk/Pittsburgh-steelers/">Steelers games last year. It's understandable -- he was busy playing for the <a href="http://nfl.fanhouse.com/team/washington-Redskins">Redskins. But because he didn't get to see the <a href="http://www.nflshops.co.uk/jerseys-uk/Pittsburgh-steelers/">Steelers, he appears to be under the mistaken assumption that he will be the <a href="http://www.nflshops.co.uk/jerseys-uk/Pittsburgh-steelers/">Steelers' No. 3 receiver in 2010.
I say mistaken because even when he was in his prime, Randle El was not as good a receiver as Mike Wallace was as a rookie. At this point in his career only an injury to Wallace would explain why Randle El would play ahead of him. If the <a href="http://www.nflshops.co.uk/jerseys-uk/Pittsburgh-steelers/">Steelers actually told Randle El that he would be their No. 3 receiver this year, either they were a) lying or b) crazy. There is no other logical explanation.
When Randle El talked to the Washington Post, he <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/Redskinsinsider/free-agency/randle-el-rejoins-the-<a href="http://www.nflshops.co.uk/jerseys-uk/Pittsburgh-steelers/">Steelers.html" target="_blank">seemed to believe that he's returning to Pittsburgh as a key cog.
