Today I wanted to look at the running backs, a position the Pittsburgh Steelers could be looking to add depth to for the 2022 season. The graph below uses their 2021 PFF Grade and their current rank on PFF’s Big Board that updates through the draft process:
We see a lack of players at the top of the graph with PFF sharing the no running back in the first-round sentiment, and actually no player in the top 50. The top player on the current big board is Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III, who has good listed size and produced with more opportunity in 2021 on 250+ carries and over 1600 rushing yards but wasn’t used much as a receiver.
