Losing Najee Harris in free agency was a big blow for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but that blow was lessened Friday night as the Steelers landed Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson — the No. 3 running back in the class on Dane Brugler’s big board — at No. 83 overall in the third round. It gives offensive coordinator Arthur Smith a great fit in his zone rushing attack.
Though Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and Alabama QB Jalen Milroe were available at the time of the Steelers’ pick, leading many to believe they’d address the QB position with some great value, the Steelers stuck to their identity and grabbed Johnson.
