The Steelers signed RB Kenneth Gainwell to just a $1,790,000 deal, yet it sounds like they have plans for him. While he may wind up returning kicks, they are using him in all different places on offense. Despite being a running back, the Steelers and OC Arthur Smith see him as something more than that. He didn’t get to show that fully with the Eagles, but what about here?
During training camp so far, the Steelers have used Gainwell with some frequency set at the line of scrimmage. But this is second nature to him, or so he said in so many words, speaking to reporters on Saturday.
