After Knile Davis signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, it’s assumed he’ll compete for their starting kick returner and back-up running back jobs. He held those jobs with the Kansas City Chiefs, so how does his loss affect them?
In the running game, the loss of Davis means nothing. He had already been pushed back to fourth string running back. Spencer Ware, Charcandrick West and even Tyreek Hill were all options ahead of Davis. This was with good reason as Davis isn’t a good NFL back. He isn’t strong enough to make a hole if there isn’t one.
