The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Dri Archer at the end of the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft hoping that he would be a weapon both on offense and special teams. I choose the word ‘weapon’ deliberately because the second-year player was not given a specific position.
Instead, Archer was listed as “WR/RB” on the depth chart, and has attended meetings for both the running backs and the wide receiver group, although his primary unit to work with appears to be the running backs.
That assertion would be backed up by the way that the Steelers shaped their roster last season, by carrying six wide receivers versus just three running backs, including himself, though not including h-back Will Johnson, who primarily plays as a tight end most recently.
