Kaleb Johnson didn’t have a great showing in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first preseason game. While not all of that was his fault, he acknowledged that he played too timid. That problem didn’t plague him Saturday night at Acrisure Stadium. Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Johnson recorded 11 carries for 50 yards along with one catch for nine yards. It was a much better showing for Johnson, who is happier getting more work put on his plate.
“I’m a very high-volume carry runner, and I feel like that applies to me when I was at Iowa also,” Johnson said Saturday via the team’s website.
