Benny Snell isn’t a guy who is much used to sitting on the sidelines. During his three seasons at Kentucky, for example, he amassed 737 carries, with 766 touches in all. He had over 300 touches in his final, junior, season in 2018 alone, during which he totaled 1554 yards from scrimmage, including 1449 rushing yards on 289 carries.
So dropping down to just 166 snaps played during his rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers was a new experience for him, even if he did record 111 touches, meaning that he touched the ball on just over two thirds of his snaps, a remarkable ratio.
