Derrick Harmon has every chance to make an impact as the team’s first-round pick, but it might be their second selection who ends up having the most profound effect this season. RB Kaleb Johnson was drafted as a “perfect fit” to Arthur Smith’s offense, and the hype has only continued to build through spring practices and early training camp.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo revealed some of the conversations he’s had at training camp about the rookie running back.

“He’s the one guy where you just talk to people around the team up at practice; almost to a man, they are excited about this guy,” Fittipaldo said via 93.
