Though Ben Roethlisberger and a loaded receiving corps returns in Pittsburgh for the 2021 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are leaning heavily into rebuilding the league’s worst rushing attack.
Pittsburgh drafted running back Najee Harris, tight end Pat Freiermuth, and center Kendrick Green, re-signed Zach Banner, and added Trai Turner after the surprising release of David Decastro, all in hopes of improving the league’s 32nd-ranked rushing attack that played a significant factor in the decline of the team’s chances in 2020 down the stretch.
All that should play a huge role in the Steelers’ offensive foundation changing, according to NFL analyst and senior producer at NFL Films Greg Cosell, who appeared on the Ross Tucker Podcast June 30.
