Ryan Switzer working to perfect role as slot receiver for Pittsburgh Steelers

However the reps are handed out, Ryan Switzer is volunteering for duty. The 5-foot-8, 185-pound West Virginia native and North Carolina star entering his third NFL season has dedicated himself to perfecting the slot receiver’s craft. “It takes a different kind of guy to work the middle of the field, be able to be on the same page as the quarterback,” Switzer said.
