The newest running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers is doing his best to represent one of the franchise's most iconic rushers.
Anthony McFarland Jr., who the Steelers drafted in the fourth round last month, will wear No. 26 on his jersey in honor of Le'Veon Bell.
The Maryland product told ESPN's Brooke Pryor he believes Bell has "always been" the best running back in the league to him and McFarland continues to idolize his play.
"I didn't want people to think I wanted to be better than Le'Veon," McFarland said.
