Following the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Draft, it was a bit surprising to see outgoing Pittsburgh Steelers’ GM Kevin Colbert pass on addressing the backup running back position behind star second-year pro Najee Harris.
Though the Steelers didn’t spend a draft pick on a running back that would slot in as the No. 2 behind Harris, Colbert, new GM Omar Khan and the Steelers moved swiftly to lock up undrafted free agents Mataeo Durant of Duke and Jaylen Warren of Oklahoma State, giving the Steelers two intriguing young running backs to work with ahead of the 2022 season.
