They are the giant sequoia of the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers certainly have traits they look for at certain position. Big, fast receivers. Long, physical corners. And running backs who look like they could play linebacker. The latter is the focus today, Pittsburgh’s final 53 man roster confirming what we already knew.
Here are the sizes of the three running backs the Steelers kept on the roster.
Le’Veon Bell: 6’1 225
James Conner: 6’1 233
Terrell Watson: 6’1 236
I’m not sure if you’re going to find a bigger backfield than that.
