When opportunity knocks, not only in life by in the world of professional sports, you better be ready to answer.
Fourth-year Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland Jr. certainly answered the knock at the door throughout the offseason, training camp and preseason, solidifying his role as the No. 3 running back in the Steel City behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
After scoring a touchdown in the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then looking rather strong from an elusiveness standpoint against the Buffalo Bills in the second preseason game, McFarland put a bow on the preseason Thursday night, rushing for 55 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries, including ripping off a 33-yarder, cementing his spot.
