Were it not for the fumble, and the Pitt product making his NFL debut, it may well have been rookie running back Jaylen Warren crowned the star of the show during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first preseason game on Saturday night.
As it is, he has still attracted plenty of attention as the undrafted rookie begins to make an earnest push for a place on the 53-man roster. In addition to rushing for 34 yards on six carries and catching four passes for another 30 yards, he also performed ably in pass protection and recorded a tackle on special teams.
