The Pittsburgh Steelers 2019 season will likely include running back James Conner being the bell cow in the backfield once again. However, judging by numerous things said by various Steelers players and coaches during the team’s recently concluded offseason practices, Conner might not have as heavy of a workload as he did last season before going down with an ankle injury. When that injury occurred, however, then-rookie running back Jaylen Samuels filled in admirably for Conner and for the season, the Steelers trio of running backs that were used in all of 2018 did a great job of closely replicating the stats that running back Le’Veon Bell posted during the 2017 season.
