Canada: Anthony McFarland Jr. Has ‘Earned The Right’ To See Meaningful In-Game Snaps

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Anthony McFarland Jr. hasn’t had much of an opportunity over the past few years, but that may change in 2023. McFarland is currently the favorite for the RB3 role, with offensive coordinator Matt Canada telling reporters before practice today he likes the work McFarland’s put in.

“Ant has just had some situations whether it’s injury, guys in front or all of those things,” Canada said via Steelers.com. “He’s done a good job getting better filling out, doing some things. You have seen him in practice, we felt like he had earned the right to see what he could do in those situations.
