As an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State and largely buried on the depth chart entering training camp last summer, Jaylen Warren was an afterthought for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Now, after earning his way onto the 53-man roster and grabbing ahold of the No. 2 job behind incumbent starter Najee Harris, Warren is viewed as a potential breakout running back entering Year Two, according to NFL.com analyst Kevin Patra.
Warren was one of 12 running backs entering Year Two highlighted by Patra as potential breakout running backs. Warren landed in the “Wild Card” portion of Patra’s article with the likes of Las Vegas’ Zamir White, Los Angeles’ Kyren Williams, and Dallas’ Malik Davis.
