Signed to an under-the-radar one-year deal in free agency, running back Kenneth Gainwell is starting to look like a significant bargain for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season.
The team raved about him all offseason and training camp. He also had a huge breakout game in Dublin in the win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. But Gainwell’s production in recent weeks is rather eye-opening.
In Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Gainwell had seven receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns. He built upon that strong day with a 92-yard rushing performance against the Chicago Bears in Week 12.
