Player: RB Kaleb Johnson
Stock Value: Purchased
Reasoning: The Steelers replaced veteran RB Najee Harris with Kaleb Johnson, via the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. While he will compete for playing time with Jaylen Warren, he should be a significant contributor immediately. A lot of his game mirrors well with OC Arthur Smith’s philosophy, and he has future starter potential.
If the Steelers knew they would draft Kaleb Johnson in the third round, would they have given Jaylen Warren a second-round tender? Now that we have the recent veteran transactions out of the way, we can return to introducing the draft class.
