McFarland making strong case for expanded role behind Harris

LATROBE, Pa. -- The backup running back duties can come from a majority shareholder or a partnership of a "2" and "2a," depending on how an offense utilizes that position.

As the Steelers get into their final week of training camp practices at Saint Vincent College, Anthony McFarland's stock has noticeable risen while Jaylen Warren's stock has remained a constant. McFarland has shown the capability to decipher and hammer down a hole in a quicker manner, while displaying speed to the boundaries and providing another wrinkle as a speedy pass catcher.

Warren, though, entered this training camp in fantastic shape with some added bulk, and has looked like an improved version of the breakout undrafted rookie who stormed onto the radar in last year's training camp.
