Kaleb Johnson showed his power and decisiveness during his preseason NFL debut

Former Iowa Hawkeye Kaleb Johnson has been a big topic of discussion since the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him with the No. 83 overall pick in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Steelers took Johnson before selecting a quarterback, which left many fans and media members confused.

After Johnson was selected and entered the organization, Steelers' Head Coach Mike Tomlin has had nothing but praise for the former Iowa star.

Tomlin stated that Johnson is a "high-volume, capable runner," and made a lot of NFL Sunday-like runs during his time with the Hawkeyes.
