While his box-score numbers might not have been as gaudy as WR George Pickens’, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren had a major impact on Pittsburgh’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. Warren threw a key block on Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt that led to a rushing touchdown by WR Calvin Austin III, and defensive lineman Cameron Heyward praised both Warren and Pickens for providing a spark against the Bengals on the latest episode of his Not Just Football podcast.
“What a heck of a play by Jaylen,” Heyward said about Warren’s block.
He said that Warren is dangerous with or without the ball, and that he’s a tough guy for opponents to bring down.
