Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson was an impact back last year in college at Iowa. ESPN believes he can do the same in the NFL.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially signed rookie Kaleb Johnson to a four-year deal, positioning the Iowa standout as a serious contender for the team’s starting running back role heading into the 2025 NFL season.

"It’s a great fit,” Johnson stated. “Learning from Coach Faulkner, he’s one of the greats. As far as [Jaylen] Warren, Najee [Harris] being here, Le’Veon [Bell], all those guys coming here and being successful — Najee had 1,000 yards for four years. That just doesn’t happen for no reason."
