While it’s still technically a new offense in Pittsburgh under first-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada, Tony Brooks-James is picking up right where he left off in 2019.
Brooks-James, who spent three games with the Steelers in 2019, was signed off the street on August 3 largely due to the Steelers having a number of injuries at the running backs position. Since coming off the street, Brooks-James has looked pretty impressive in limited action in the preseason and in training camp, showing off his speed and overall vision to make waves between the white lines.
Against the Philadelphia Eagles in the second half Thursday, Brooks-James looked like he was playing at a different speed, which was noticeable right away.
