He had 21 receptions for 219 yards with 2 touchdowns. Steiner has good athletic ability due to very good speed, change of direction, good acceleration, and jumping. Good release against both the press jam and off coverage. Steiner has good separation quickness due to his athletic ability and making DBs miss with his shifty feet. He has very good ball tracking and good catching. Good body control and very good ball adjustment. After the catch, he uses his home run speed to thrash the defense for big gains.
