You could make the argument that RB Jaylen Warren was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ best offensive player in 2023. And make no mistake, he played last season, and played a fair bit. His 210 offensive touches ranked tied for the 29th-most in the NFL last year with the Baltimore Ravens’ Gus Edwards.
But new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith should work on getting him even more touches next season. That’s easier said than done given that between himself and Najee Harris, the running back position commanded nearly 500 touches. But it’s doable.
And not only should they get Warren more touches, they should get him better touches, particularly in the passing game.
