When the Pittsburgh Steelers used their second selection of the 2025 NFL Draft on a running back, I’m not sure they envisioned him sitting on the bench for over 90 percent of the team’s offensive snaps. Yet that’s been Kaleb Johnson’s reality so far, playing just 43 total offensive snaps with 23 total touches.
Arthur Smith was asked what it would take to get Johnson more involved. Let’s just say his answer doesn’t sound promising for Johnson’s chances this season.
“Hopefully we get in a game where I can call 40 runs. That would be nice. We have yet to get there,” Smith said in a transcript provided by the team.
