Archer Looks To Have “McCluster-Like” Role In 2015

Much has been said about the Steelers’ third round draft choice in 2014 being spent on a role player in Dri Archer, but for comparisons sake, there is hope to be had.

His stat line of 10 carries for 40 yards and 7 catches for 23 yards is inexcusable for a player not only of his pedigree but a player possessing his lightning-quick acceleration. Many of his rush attempts last season were up the gut, where he was somewhat effective. However, his best asset is obviously his wheels, so why not get him on the edges and into the open field?
