‘One Of My Favorite Players To Watch:’ Rodgers Says ‘Something Good Happens’ When Gainwell Gets The Ball

Najee Harris was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ lead running back for the past four years. He was a bell cow, playing in every game during that time. However, the Steelers let him leave in free agency this year. That left them with a hole in their backfield. At the moment, Jaylen Warren figures to sit atop their depth chart, but the Steelers have a number of running backs that should be contributors. Aaron Rodgers recently shared praise for Warren and Kenneth Gainwell.

“Kenny [Gainwell] was one of my favorite players to watch over the years as a changeup back with Philly,” Rodgers said Monday to Adam Schein on Mad Dog Sports Radio.
