The Pittsburgh Steelers shook up their running back room this offseason, moving on from four-year starting back Najee Harris, and selecting Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Harris rushed for 1,000 yards each of his four seasons in Pittsburgh, but his efficiency wasn’t up to par and he displayed a lack of explosiveness at times the past few seasons. With a new quarterback in town as well, the only returning piece that will feature in the run game next season is Jaylen Warren.
After a stellar season as a secondary back in 2023, highlighted by 784 yards on the ground and 61 receptions, Warren took a bit of a step back in 2024.
