Germie Bernard, a second-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers, is generating buzz ahead of training camp, compared to Aaron Rodgers' former target Randall Cobb. Bernard's college performance, including 862 receiving yards and seven touchdowns at Alabama, indicates he could play a significant offensive role. He is projected as a top-10 rookie for 2026 and is expected to compete for the WR3 position against Roman Wilson. Bernard's ability to run routes and contribute to the run game positions him well in new head coach Mike McCarthy's schemes.
