One of the biggest surprise contributors to the 2022 Pittsburgh Steelers was undrafted free agent running back Jaylen Warren. Warren signed with the team out of Oklahoma State and emerged as the team’s No. 2 running back, toting the rock 77 times for 379 yards and also catching 28 passes, and taking over as the team’s third-down back. Speaking to reporters today before Pittsburgh’s second minicamp practice, running backs coach Eddie Faulkner said finding a player like Warren is rare.
“I don’t think that happens a whole lot. What I didn’t know about Jaylen was his ability as a pass protector, and from game one he was doing that at a very high level and he’s been that way the whole time.
