Pittsburgh Steelers rookie RB Kaleb Johnson had just 29 receptions over three seasons at Iowa, but he doesn’t think he should be written off as a receiver. Speaking to the media before training camp practice on Saturday, Johnson said he thinks he can make an impact as a receiver out of the backfield.
“I feel like my hidden part of my game was my speed and catching ability. And I feel like I can really contribute to catching ability…I feel like [Aaron Rodgers] and just all the quarterbacks, I feel like they trust me now and trust that I can make good plays from a pass perspective,” Johnson said via video by Post-Gazette Sports on YouTube.
