There’s no question the Pittsburgh Steelers intend to draft a running back next month. The only question is who and how early. One prospect they’re talking to is Memphis RB Kenneth Gainwell. In a conference call with media one day ahead of the Tigers’ Pro Day, Gainwell says he’s spoken to the Steelers and Atlanta Falcons.
Here’s the tweet from Memphis reporter Evan Barnes.

Of course, teams talk to tons of prospects throughout draft season so we can’t put too much stock into these reports.
