UDFA Jaylen Warren may not have been expected to make the 53-man roster when he joined the team after not getting drafted this spring, but his play throughout training camp and the preseason proved to be too much to ignore.
Warren quickly became Pittsburgh’s training camp darling on the offensive side of the football at Saint Vincent College thanks to his willingness in pass protection, aggressive running style in-between the tackles, and his ability as a pass catcher out of the backfield.
When asked about what stood out about Warren during the preseason and what kind of role he may have on the roster this season, Mike Tomlin reiterated the same points in his press conference prior to the team’s Week 1 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
