‘Hidden Part Of My Game:’ Kaleb Johnson Thinks He Can Make Impact With Catching Ability

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.
