Just days before the start of the 2025 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers surprisingly handed Jaylen Warren a contract extension. The former undrafted running back made the team as a rookie in 2022 before exploding for a breakout season in 2023 that included over 1,100 scrimmage yards.
In 2024, Warren played through nagging soft tissue injuries. His efficiency as a runner took a step back, and he missed two games in the first half of the season. But it was Warren's 2024 season that made this the perfect time for Omar Khan to hand him an extension.
