The Steelers gave Kaleb Johnson the starring role on Saturday night, but he failed to do very much with it. While it’s certainly not time to panic, the rookie third-round pick has some adjustments to make before the regular season. Although he showed some flashes, former Steelers OL Trai Essex saw some cause for concern.

“Kaleb Johnson, who’s had a really good camp up to this point, I thought might have looked a little tentative out there”, he said on The Snap Count, along with Charlie Batch. “I was concerned, because our yards per carry were a little low”, he added, after reviewing the game.
