We got served our biggest helping yet of Benny Snell Football yesterday. And it tasted pretty good. The Pittsburgh Steelers rookie functioned as the team’s lead back after missing three games due to a knee injury that required clean-up surgery.
He was a workhorse while a member of the Kentucky Wildcats at the collegiate level. His extensive body of work and endurance was something that attracted the Steelers to him during the pre-draft process, so they were comfortable leaning on him with that type of workload.
And so he got it, finishing the game with a career-high 21 carries, picking up 98 yards on the ground.
