There’s no better friend for a rookie running back to have than his offensive coordinator. Arthur Smith has been known to ride the hot hand, and if the good vibes continue between himself and third-round RB Kaleb Johnson, Pittsburgh could lean on the rookie a lot this year. Speaking with Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews, Johnson says he and Smith were on the same page well before the Steelers even made him their pick.
“Ever since I came on a 30 visit and me and him was talking about my film, he was just very positive,” Johnson told Matthews.
