After deciding against selecting a running back with one of their first two selections in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers addressed the position with their first of two fourth-round selections on Saturday. That selection was Maryland running back Anthony McFarland Jr., who measured in at this year’s scouting combine at 5081, 208-pounds. He also ran his 40-yard dash in 4.44-seconds in Indianapolis, IN. After the draft was over with Saturday night, Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert talked briefly about McFarland.
“With Anthony McFarland Jr., we were able to add a running back that gives us a little change-up characteristic different than the guys we have,” Colbert said.
