The injury bug has struck the Pittsburgh Steelers almost everywhere. Running back is no exception. Teresa Varley talked with running backs coach James Saxon to get his overview on each running back.
DeAngelo Williams has been maybe the best offseason move made by the team. Saxon readily recoginizes his positive impact.
The guy is smart. He was here through the whole offseason so he really had a chance to get acclimated with the whole offense. We’re just very fortunate to have him,” he told Varley.
This year, Williams is averaging five yards per carry – his highest in a season since 2011 – and five rushing touchdowns.
