The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t have a clear No. 3 running back on their roster yet, but it sure sounds like RB Anthony McFarland Jr. is staking his claim to the job. In his press conference after practice Wednesday, head coach Mike Tomlin talked about what’s stood out with McFarland thus far.
“He looks like a guy who’s been in this environment, and he has. The consistency, oftentimes we talk about splash and splash gets a lot of attention. One of the points that we’re trying to drive home is professionals make routine plays routinely. I think that’s been the thing that’s gotten our attention regarding him,” Tomlin said via Steelers.
