Could Benny Snell supplant James Conner as the Steelers’ feature RB?

I know it might seem like a stretch to write about Benny Snell Jr. possibly supplanting a Pro Bowl running back in James Conner, but is it within the realm of possibility?

Benny Snell was a pick that a lot of Steelers fans enjoyed. He was a bruising, bell-cow back in the SEC, and accounted for a large portion of his teams’ offense.

Snell shares a lot of similarities with teammate James Conner – they are both big running backs that win with power and contact balance between the tackles. Conner and Snell were both major contributors on their respective teams in college, as well as touchdown machines.
