Colbert Hints At RB By Committee Approach In 2019: ‘We Need To Have More Help For James And Jaylen’

For at least the immediate future, it appears as though the Pittsburgh Steelers won’t run a single running back of theirs until his proverbial wheels fall off. In fact, judging by what Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said earlier this week during an interview on 105 The X Radio, the Steelers might even use a running back by committee approach in 2019 consisting of James Conner, Jaylen Samuels and Benny Snell Jr., who was drafted by the team in the fourth-round on Saturday out of Kentucky.

“In Benny Snell’s case, he’s a good football player that knows how to play the game,” Colbert said during his recent radio interview.
