Get ready to see a lot of Benny Snell Football during the 2019 regular season, because it’s coming to a Pittsburgh Steelers game near you. Only, it might not necessarily take the form that you expect. Realistically, the rookie running back may see more snaps on special teams this year than on offense, playing behind Pro Bowler James Conner and second-year Jaylen Samuels.
While he got the bulk of the work in the running game in last night’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with 26 rushing yards on 13 carries (nobody else had more than five carries) and 25 receiving yards on two receptions, Snell was most proud of his work on special teams.
