Heitritter: Expect Aaron Rodgers To Expedite Kaleb Johnson’s Development As A Pass Catcher

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie RB Kaleb Johnson wasn’t known for his pass catching prowess coming out of the University of Iowa as the third round pick was seldom used in the Hawkeyes passing game. That was no knock on Johnson’s ability, as I demonstrated in a previous film room analysis that Johnson possesses the skill set and tape to suggest he can be a capable pass catcher at the next level. Still, with just 29 receptions for 240 yards and two touchdowns in his college career (22 receptions for 188 yards last season), Johnson has a lot of room to grow to become more of a well-rounded back.
