He averaged more than 7 yards per touch on Sunday, and yet Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren couldn’t even get consistent work offensively in the Steelers’ 31-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Warren ran for 48 yards on 14 carries and added another 86 receiving yards on four receptions, including an impressive catch-and-run for 65 yards from Aaron Rodgers. But Warren still found himself splitting time with veteran Kenneth Gainwell in the Steelers’ backfield.
Former Steelers offensive lineman and current analyst Trai Essex believes that split has to stop. It’s time to ensure Warren gets 20-25 touches a game, period.
