Sometimes, in life and in sports, adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful. Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson is learning that right now.
The third-round pick out of Iowa made a major mistake in Week 2 in the home opener against the Seattle Seahawks, botching a kickoff under the new rules, leading to a Seattle touchdown that swung the game in a major way.
Now, he is seemingly out of a job on special teams, and could even be inactive Sunday in Week 3 against the New England Patriots after the Steelers elevated running back Trey Sermon from the practice squad.
