The Pittsburgh Steelers’ running back room is an interesting one. To start the season, it will be led by Jaylen Warren, a player Steelers fans are familiar with but have never really seen in an expanded role. Then, there’s another veteran in Kenneth Gainwell, while third-round rookie Kaleb Johnson also seems ready for a significant role.
It’s a unique backfield, but one that can be dangerous if all the players are used in the right way. The camaraderie amongst that group only seems to be growing so far. Speaking before practice Saturday, Johnson talked about how Warren is helping him adjust to the NFL level.
