Tomlin Says Run Game Improvements In 2021 Go Beyond Acquisition Of More Players

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made fixing their struggling running game a very high priority this offseason after ranking dead last in the NFL in rushing yards per game (84.4) and yards per carry (3.6) in 2020. Additionally, the Steelers ranked 29th (90.4) and 31st (90.3) in rushing yards per game in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Because of those continued running game woes over several seasons it wasn’t a bit surprising to hear head Mike Tomlin and general manager Kevin Colbert both get asked questions about how they intend to fix the offensive rushing attack during their Monday pre-draft press conference.
