Can Jaylen Warren be a bell-cow back, and do the Steelers intend to find out?
The Pittsburgh Steelers are near the end of their trial period because their running backs are about to earn raises. Both Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren will be free agents after this season, though Warren will be a restricted one. Even if he isn’t on the open market, though, he will see a nice pay increase.
A former college free agent, Warren has forced his way into the rotation with Harris over the past two seasons. He totaled over 1,000 yards from scrimmage last season on 210 touches, 5.
