Coming into the 2023 season, it was expected that RB Jaylen Warren would operate in a complimentary role to starting RB Najee Harris in the backfield after the former UDFA out of Oklahoma State had a strong rookie season in the Black and Gold. Warren totaled 77 caries for 379 yards (4.9 YPC) and one touchdown along with 28 receptions for 214 yards, playing 31% of the offensive snaps. Warren became a great change of pace back to Harris as a more explosive runner that had a well-rounded skill set to run bin-between the tackles as well as the pass catching chops and consistency as a pass protector to overtake the third down role in Pittsburgh near the midway point of the season.
