The Steelers currently have seven players listed at running back on their roster. And only two of them are locks to make the final 53.
That’s right, James Conner will be making a reappearance as the Steelers’ (hopefully healthy) feature back, while Benny Snell Jr. will return as Conner’s backup after a somewhat promising rookie year.
Behind those two there is a slew of names on the depth chart: Jaylen Samuels, Anthony McFarland Jr., Trey Edmunds, Ralph Webb, and Kerrith Whyte. Anywhere from three to five spots could be open on the Steelers’ 2020 roster for the seven running backs to fill, and behind Conner and Snell the competition is close.
