Rookie running back Kaleb Johnson sure isn’t lacking confidence. Making up one leg of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ backfield committee, Johnson has big goals out of the gate.
“I wanna be rookie of the year,” Johnson told reporters via audio provided by the team. “That’s my main thing. Work to win Super Bowls, Rookie of the Year, All-Pro. I wanna do all that. And I feel like [Pittsburgh] can best support me here, and I can get here, and I can do it.”
Johnson is expected to have an immediate role in the running game, likely seeing early-down carries while Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell handle third-down duties.
