Steelers rookie RB Kaleb Johnson has what you might call difficulty accepting being tackled, as his college coach put it. But he didn’t show up in Iowa quite like that, says Kirk Ferentz. Speaking to Brian Batko on the Chipped Ham and Football podcast, he talked about the many Iowa players on the Steelers’ roster and his expectations for Johnson.
“Last year was the first time I really felt like he started to use his attributes. He’s always been a big, strong guy. He was three years ago when he showed up,” Ferentz said of Johnson.
