Despite being a third-round pick, Pittsburgh Steelers fans have placed some pretty high expectations on Kaleb Johnson. It makes sense for the fan base to be excited about Johnson’s explosiveness after Najee Harris lacked that element for four years.
However, Johnson didn’t show all of that explosiveness in his first preseason game on Saturday. While it’s quite a small sample size to draw any conclusions from, that doesn’t stop some from worrying about him. This includes former NFL GM Doug Whaley.
“I wouldn’t panic. It’s first game action, I’m sure things are going a thousand miles per hour,” Whaley said on 93.
