Camp outlook: Switzer is one of a handful of players that are going to be vying for all the targets that Antonio Brown got last year.
With JuJu Smith-Schuster moving from the slot outside, it should create plenty of opportunities for Switzer. His primary competition for those catches will be Eli Rogers and Diontae Johnson.
Projected role: The first option in the slot and probably will finish third in targets amongst Steelers receivers.
