From Iowa to Pittsburgh, running back Kaleb Johnson didn’t have to change the color scheme on his jersey. More importantly, he didn’t have to change the playbook either. Drafted into a similar offense as the one he ran in college, Johnson isn’t feeling like an overwhelmed rookie as he begins his NFL career.
“I’m feeling very great,” he told reporters via the Pittsburgh DSEN YouTube channel following Thursday’s practice. “I feel like it’s some of the same stuff that we do at Iowa. So I feel like I’m coming in and I’m really having an advantage a little bit because it’s kind of like the same stuff we do, I did back then in college.
