Get ready for Benny Snell football.
Snell will be James Conner’s backup for roughly the next month while Jaylen Samuels sits out after undergoing a knee scope. And that means an expanded role for Snell, who as Mike Tomlin indicated, is excited to see regular playing time.
“I believe that he is,” Tomlin said when asked if Snell is ready for more snaps. “I know that he’s chomping at the bit to be a contributor. He’s a high-energy young guy. He’s been highly productive on special teams and usually production on special teams is an indication of offensive and defensive readiness.
