The Pittsburgh Steelers got an incredible season from James Conner after he was expected to under-perform compared to his once teammate Le’Veon Bell. He did not explode on the scene like Bell did and he did not put up huge numbers but he was effective and much improved in his second season.
The Steelers running backs room was a big question mark heading into 2018. They had a rookie day three pick in Jaylen Samuels backing up a second year pro in Conner.
The depth was very clearly lacking but the pair made the most of the opportunities in front of them.
