Agnew spent the last three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars and scored six touchdowns from scrimmage. His last kick return touchdown came in 2021, but he’s an intriguing returner given the new dynamic format. Agnew was named All-Pro in his first NFL season with the Detroit Lions after leading the league in punt return yards (447), punt return touchdowns (2), and yards per return (15.4). In his seven-year career, Agnew has scored four times on punt returns and twice on kick returns.
Agnew can also potentially contribute in the Steelers’ passing game, as the speedster has caught 77 passes for 746 yards and five touchdowns throughout his NFL career. But his ability to give back has earned him recognition around the league.
The Steelers have returned just 12 kickoffs this season. Aaron Shampklin, who hasn’t played since Week 6, is their leading returner with 101 yards on four returns, while Jaylen Warren also returned four kicks for 95 yards. Pittsburgh also has legendary returner Cordarrelle Patterson, who has returned three kicks for 61 yards.
