One of the more pleasant surprises for this Pittsburgh Steelers team is the emergence of undrafted rookie running back Jaylen Warren. Having started out as a UDFA signing out of Oklahoma State, he climbed his way up to the backup role behind first-round pick Najee Harris, beating out experienced draft picks Benny Snell and Anthony McFarland Jr. in the way. Warren’s downhill running style and his willingness to pass protection make for a perfect change-of-pace back behind Harris. On Wednesday, Warren was asked about incorporating patience into his running style.
“You see, I try to do what Najee does, but I can’t do it,” Warren said when asked if he can emulate Harris’ patience in a Wednesday press conference via Steelers.
