'Pittsburgh retained Jaylen Warren despite his career-low 64.3 PFF overall grade last season. He presents a viable option but has never taken on a starting workload in the NFL,' Dalton Wasserman of PFF wrote. 'Former Eagle Kenneth Gainwell also joined the team in free agency, though he's earned a paltry 54.3 PFF overall grade over the past two seasons.
'The brightest ray of hope may be third-round rookie Kaleb Johnson, who earned an 86.7 PFF rushing grade last season and should be a good fit in Arthur Smith's zone run scheme.'
🏈 According to Steel City Star, Lynn Swann and John Stallworth are both still in the top 10 for most career post-season touchdown receptions. They are two of only three players in that top 10 who retired before 2000 (Fred Biletnikoff). They are also the only WR teammates in the top 10 together.
🏈 The Steelers will be making a special announcement next week. Many believe it will be the release of a new Terrible Towel to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its creation.
🏈 A video of Terry Bradshaw complaining about the 'ridiculous' treatment at the airport went viral on social media.
🏈 T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith were tabbed as the best edge rusher duo in the NFL by Pro Football Focus.
