AutoDraft Pro AI

Steelers GM Omar Khan described RB Kaleb Johnson's rookie season as "disappointing," noting his low production of 69 yards on 28 carries and a costly Week 2 special teams error. Despite this, Khan expressed belief that Johnson will "turn the corner," citing his practice field performance and college production. If Kenneth Gainwell is not re-signed, Johnson is expected to step into the No. 2 running back role in his second season.
