Player: RB Kaleb Johnson
Stock Value: Down
Reasoning: Once deemed the future of the franchise, Kaleb Johnson is looking very much like a rookie in over his head. The Steelers are giving him little work on offense, and his reps as kick returner have not produced confidence. Yesterday, he committed a tremendous blunder by allowing a kickoff that bounced inbounds to remain alive. After the game, he declined to give a clear answer regarding whether he understood the rules governing that scenario.
Steelers fans have been quick to vilify Kaleb Johnson, the rookie running back not long ago they were ready to hoist upon their shoulders and carry into the future.
