One of the biggest divides that I see pertaining to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason is opinions about the team’s running back position, both relative to what they should do and what they are expected to do. Including the fullback position, the team is actually scheduled to return a whopping six running backs from its 2019 roster, yet it’s not hard to find someone who thinks they should be drafting a starter in the second round.
The position is in something of a state of flux with 2018 Pro Bowler James Conner going into the final year of his rookie contract while coming off of a very disappointing third season, which was marred significantly by a series of injuries that frequently kept him off the field.
