After the 2022 NFL Draft concluded, the Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to terms with several UDFAs to add to the preseason 90-man roster. Among them were RBs Mataeo Durant out of Duke and Jaylen Warren out of Oklahoma State. It was a bit surprising that Pittsburgh elected to not address the backup running back position in the draft, but after breaking down Durant’s film and his knack for ripping off explosive plays in a recent film room, I came away impressed with that area of his game. Given the fungibility of the RB position, it makes some sense why the team elected to go the Dave Bryan route and bring in a couple UDFAs off the street to fight for a backup job in training camp.
