With Najee Harris leaving in free agency to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers, and Kenneth Gainwell being signed to a one-year deal in free agency, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves with a significant need at the running back position alongside Jaylen Warren.
Currently, Warren, Gainwell, and veteran Cordarrelle Patterson are the only running backs on the roster for a team that aims to be a run-first offense. Fortunately for the Black and Gold, the running back class in the 2025 NFL Draft is quite good, with great talent throughout the class.
The Steelers have done quite a bit of work on the running back class in the pre-draft process.
