Through two full seasons in the NFL, former fourth-round pick Anthony McFarland Jr. hasn’t shown much of anything to warrant a roster spot with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
As a rookie, McFarland gained just 167 yards on 39 touches as a reserve running back, gaining just four total first downs in those 39 touches on offense. Then, in 2021 McFarland hurt his knee, missed a bunch of time, and then struggled to get a helmet on game days due to COVID issues, ultimately gaining just three yards on three carries and added one catch for 11 yards in limited action.
