I wanted to continue learning and providing data on new Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson. Today’s goal is to look at his volume and success in various run game schemes, comparing that to Pittsburgh, and seeing what that could mean for the Steelers in 2025.
First, let’s look at Johnson’s results at Iowa last season. The first table is a breakdown of run types charted by Sports Info Solutions (SIS), including attempts, yards, yards per attempt (YPA), and touchdowns. I sorted by the most total attempts at each run scheme:
Right away, seeing Johnson’s most common run scheme being outside zone aligns very well with what Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith likes to do.
