Second-year running back Jaylen Warren looked quite good throughout training camp and the preseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers, generating quite a bit of buzz.
That buzz only got louder after he ripped off a 62-yard touchdown against the Buffalo Bills in Week Two of the preseason, doing something third-year running back and starter Najee Harris hasn’t done in the NFL — yet.

Warren’s performance in preseason action, coupled with the way the production looked, has generated some outside noise about Warren being the better running back and a player that deserves more touches, potentially eating into Harris’ workload to create a 50/50 split.
