Film Room: Kerrith Whyte Jr. Explodes In Steelers’ Debut

The Steelers have had some questions to answer at running back as the position has been absolutely dotted with injuries. James Conner has had a nagging shoulder injury that has caused him to miss three games, Jaylen Samuels and Benny Snell both missed time after recovering from knee surgery, and after all of that, there still has not been a consistent answer in the backfield. The rotation of Samuels, Snell, Trey Edmunds, Tony Brooks-James, and now, Kerrith Whyte has been one of experimenting to see what works and who can provide consistency and the spark plug to the offense.
