Eli Heidenreich

No. 29 · Rookie

One analyst already knows where Heidenreich fits

The roster bubble is a crowded, anxious place. Eli Heidenreich, according to NFL Films analyst Greg Cosell, is not on it.

Heidenreich is a wide receiver with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Beyond that, the signal here is thin — and that is worth naming, because the signal that does exist is pointed. Cosell, whose job is to watch more film than most people will ever sit through, sees an immediate role for Heidenreich. Not a long-shot audition. A role.

For a player whose name most fans haven't said out loud yet, that kind of read from that kind of voice is its own kind of arrival. The question now is what Heidenreich does with the real estate.
