Some fans believed the Steelers gave up an amazing offer to proceed up 7 places and draft Ohio suggest broad receiver Santonio Holmes (The Giants traded their first-round (No. 25) choose to Pittsburgh for the Steelers' first- (No. 32), third- (No. 96) and fourth-round (No. 129) picks.) within your principal round, but ideal after a superb rookie season, there's not an amazing offer complaining. Holmes, like most rookie wideouts not named Marques Colston , started out slow, but as he became an amazing offer more safe using the offense, NFL defenses and new quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, he, well, went off.

Holmes only started out five games, but they have been the final five game titles close to the season. He ended 2006 with 49 receptions for 829 yards and he saved his most effective for last: through month 17 against the Bengals, Holmes totaled 124 receiving yards, which include a 67-yard TD catch give Pittsburgh an overtime victory (and end Cincinnati's playoff hopes).
