Question

Four years in a row the Steelers have used second- or third-round picks on wide receivers: JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Washington, Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool. What are the only other two teams that have done this? For the other two teams, five of the eight players each caught 4-plus passes to help the teams win Super Bowl games. Both teams coming from this century.

Answer

Packers and Giants. For Green Bay, it missed on Terrence Murphy with a second-round pick in 2005 but then hit on Greg Jennings, James Jones and Jordy Nelson. New York’s streak started a year later: Sinorice Moss, Steve Smith (from USC), Mario Manningham and Ramses Barden. Smith and Manningham each caught 5 passes in one of New York’s Super Bowl wins over the Patriots.
