It is incredibly difficult to mention a lead running back in today’s football landscape without mentioning his workload. While the bell cow running back has seemingly been revived over the past decade, it has brought along a lot of questions and concerns. Many of those questions are about the workload of a running back, how much mileage can a running back rack up before the wheels fall off.
It is a familiar question that the Pittsburgh Steelers have had to deal with over the last few seasons with Le’Veon Bell and though the talented running back has now scampered off to New York, the lingering concern of a running back’s workload still remains in Pittsburgh.
