NFL Has Yet To See What Kenneth Gainwell ‘Really Capable Of’, Calvin Austin III Says

Without Jaylen Warren, the Steelers saw a career-best performance from Kenneth Gainwell in their win over the Vikings in Dublin. A player Pittsburgh deemed chronically underused in his career, they believe in him they have some untapped potential. And former Memphis teammate and current Steelers teammate Calvin Austin III certainly agrees.

Speaking to Gerry Dulac on 102.5 WDVE last night, Austin talked up his former college teammate. Kenneth Gainwell saw a career-high 25 touches against the Vikings, including 19 rushes for 99 yards. He also caught six passes for 36 yards, scoring two total touchdowns.
