🏈 Field Yates of ESPN wouldn’t be shocked if Kaleb Johnson leads the Steelers in carries.
“Jaylen Warren will of course play a useful role for Pittsburgh, but offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has a well-established affinity for bigger, bruising backs like Johnson. It won’t surprise me at all if he leads Pittsburgh in carries this season,” Yates wrote.
