Should Steelers Give Anthony McFarland Jr. Another Shot After UFL Success?

Should the Steelers give Anthony McFarland Jr. another shot after having success in the UFL?

Selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, RB Anthony McFarland Jr. always seemed to be on the outside looking in. Whether due to injuries or a roster reshuffling, he never quite got an extensive opportunity to prove himself.

Coming into the league arguably too young, McFarland took a couple years to mature as a professional. He looked better in each of the two previous offseasons, but fate had other plans. He actually won the kick-return job, and did well in the opener, before suffering an injury.
