The Steelers drafted a running back in the first round, but here’s why Rashaad Penny would give Pittsburgh insurance at the position in 2021.

The Steelers drafted a running back in the first round of the NFL Draft for the first time since taking Rashard Mendenhall back in 2008. Najee Harris was an excellent player at Alabama, and Pittsburgh didn’t spend the 24th overall pick on a running back to have him ride the bench this year.
