Mike Tomlin Impressed By UDFA Jaylen Warren In Monday’s Practice: ‘He Has An Appetite For The Competition’

In his press conference after training camp today, Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin praised undrafted running back Jaylen Warren, who impressed during backs on backers today.

“He has an appetite for the competition, that’s a good thing,” Tomlin said. “He’s learning and learning fast. I think the most significant thing that has captured my attention is that he seems really comfortable in these waters from a competition standpoint.”

With Jeremy McNichols out today, Warren was given a chance to step up. Alex Kozora reported he was one of the standouts during backs on backers, and Tomlin was obviously impressed with what he saw out of the back from Oklahoma State.
