What will the Pittsburgh Steelers’ running back unit look like in 2020? Likely, exactly the way he looks this year—or at least, consisting of the same pool of players. They actually finished the year with five running backs on the 53-man roster, while they ordinarily keep only three when they also have a fullback, with an occasional fourth.
There has been a strong push among some to make the argument that the Steelers should be looking to draft a running back early—as in with their first or second pick (thus in the second or third round {as a compensatory pick})—while others find it hard to see that position as such a pressing concern relative to other definite and projected ‘holes’ on the roster.
