Maryland Coach Says RB Anthony McFarland Jr. Can Add Value To Steelers As Returner

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected six players in the 2020 NFL Draft this past weekend and the first four picked, wide receiver Chase Claypool, outside linebacker Alex Highsmith, running back Anthony McFarland Jr. and safety Antoine Brooks Jr., should all be expected to make the initial 53-man roster. Of those four players, Claypool, Highsmith and Brooks, are already expected to be contributors on special teams during their rookie seasons. But what about McFarland, can he also contribute anything to Steelers during his rookie season despite being considered undersized at 5081, 208-pounds?
