I’ve already broken-down new Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland Jr. several different ways since he was drafted by the team. I’ve yet to, however, look at what he brings to the Steelers as a pass catcher. That all changes today as I have now fully contextualized McFarland’s career college receptions at Maryland.
In total, McFarland caught just 24 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown in his two seasons at Maryland. While that’s not a lot of receptions, his tape of those 24 plays shows that Maryland probably should have tried harder to use him more than they did in the passing game.
