Steelers rookie RB Kaleb Johnson says he is “grateful” a team like Pittsburgh drafted him to play his own game. Speaking to Missi Matthews for the team’s website, he believes he fits right into the AFC North. A bigger back with explosiveness out of Iowa, he recalls growing up watching their divisional games. And he thinks he can fit right in.
“I feel like it relates to the Big 10 and what I played in. I feel like I’m really used to the smashmouth, running-the-ball football”, Johnson told Matthews about playing for the Steelers. “I’m just really excited to get to work and really excited to be part of this organization”.
