Tomlin Calls Snell And McFarland ‘Capable Young Guys’ Behind Harris

If you took Mike Tomlin solely at his word Monday, he doesn’t see the need to add help behind Najee Harris on the Steelers’ running back depth chart. Benny Snell and Anthony McFarland is all you need.

Speaking with reporters Monday, Tomlin was asked to evaluate the group behind Harris.

“Both capable young guys,” Tomlin said in his yearly pre-draft presser shared on the team’s YouTube channel. “Their resumes speak for themselves. Benny has been capable as a backup runner, been capable as a teamer. McFarland less so. Less availability there.”

Pointing to resumes might not be the endorsement Tomlin was aiming for.
