The Steelers wrapped up this year’s draft class without selecting a running back a year after spending a first-round pick on Najee Harris. The selection of Harris marked four running backs drafted by Pittsburgh over a five-year span – Najee Harris 2021, Anthony McFarland 2020, Benny Snell 2019, James Conner 2017. Even though the Steelers didn’t make an official pick at the position in the draft this year, they did however sign two prospects as UDFA’s -Mataeo Durant of Duke and Jaylen Warren of Oklahoma State.
The additions of Durant and Warren are interesting ones. Harris is obviously the featured workhorse in Matt Canada’s offense.
