Jaylen Warren Ranked First Among RBs In Key Metric Last Season

The Pittsburgh Steelers unexpectedly found a running back to complement Najee Harris through undrafted free agency last season, with Jaylen Warren emerging as the team’s third-down back and another threat behind Harris. Warren only had 105 touches last season, but he made the most out of them, finishing first in the NFL in expected points added (EPA) per target and rush, according to new data released by The Athletic via TruMedia.

Harris dealt with a Lisfranc injury in his foot, which limited his production during the first half of last season, and he struggled in EPA/Target+Rush, finishing No.
