Coming out of a draft class full of players being thrust into significant roles, perhaps no second-year player faced a greater amount of pressure to get off to a good start than running back-wide receiver Dri Archer, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ third-round draft pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
While he had a couple of down notes, the second-year back flashed prominently in the first half of the contest, especially with three running backs sitting the game out.
Archer certainly authored some notable highlights, including a pair of third-and-long conversions, although, of course, he had some prominent co-authors in his efforts, in particular his friends along the offensive line.
