It only took 2 snaps for the Steelers to question drafting this rookie

The Pittsburgh Steelers kept up with the Jets and ultimately won their first football game of the season, and it wasn’t a game anyone could have planned for. We were told this entire offseason that Pittsburgh was going to control the trenches and win with a stout defense and a demoralizing rushing attack.

Instead, Aaron Rodgers looked like an Air-Raid quarterback while the defense resembled Swiss cheese.

Another player whose game didn’t go to plan was rookie running back Kaleb Johnson. Hyped up as the next big thing after being taken in the third round, it didn’t take long for fans to crown him as the next bell-cow for this offense.
