Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson has big goals. As he should, a confident player ready to contribute to his new team. It hasn’t caused him to lose sight of putting team first, mentioning Super Bowl alongside personal accolade, but becoming NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year would put him in rare Steelers company.
The award has been handed out since 1967 and only one Steelers running back has taken it home. Franco Harris received it thanks to his 1,055-yard, 10-touchdown campaign in 1972. Missing the first month of 2013 doomed Le’Veon Bell’s chances, not receiving a single vote that year.
