McFarland Learned From Fellow Steelers Running Backs How To Take Care Of His Body

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland Jr. didn’t make much of an impact during his 2020 season as the Maryland product and fourth-round draft pick only rushed 33 times in total for 113 yards in addition to catching another six passes for 54 yards. While McFarland only played 76 total offensive snaps as a rookie, he was able to learn a lot of valuable things in his first NFL season from the other Steelers running backs and specifically from James Conner.

“The things he teaches me, how to take care of your body so you can perform well,” said McFarland, according to an interview he had with Teresa Varley of steelers.
