Entering Year Four in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers, running back Anthony McFarland seems to finally be putting it all together.
Through the first two weeks of training camp, McFarland has turned heads and certainly looked the part as a capable No. 3 option behind star Najee Harris and dependable backup Jaylen Warren at the position.
While he’s still facing competition from Greg Bell, Darius Hagans and John Lovett, McFarland seems to have the No. 3 job in the bag at this point.
Though head coach Mike Tomlin wouldn’t outright state that Wednesday during his press conference leading up to the preseason opener Friday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, Tomlin did praise the former Maryland star for the growth and development he’s shown over the years.
