Steelers' second-year RB turning heads at OTAs

Pittsburgh Steelersrunning backKaleb Johnsonmay have been responsible for one of thebiggest rookie blundersin NFL history, but he's apparently ready to turn the page on his 2025 season following a strong performance at OTAs.

USA TODAY

On a new episode of Steel City Insider, Jim Wexell reported that he was wowed by Johnson's performance at OTAs and believes the young running back made massive improvements heading into Year 2.

“Kaleb Johnson has gotten first-team reps, and he looks like he’s all business,”Wexell said. “He looks like a guy that wants to make amends. … As a rookie, he couldn't pick up blitzes. And his pass-catching looks a lot better this year, let me tell you that. Now, what does he know about picking up blitzes now? Probably has been working on it. He's probably been working on his faults. There's a guy who's totally determined — would not surprise me if he shines in preseason."

Johnson, who was selected by theSteelerswith the 83rd overall pick in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, failed to make an impact in his rookie season, recording 69 rushing yards on 28 attempts with limited playing time behind Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell.

Despite his strong showing at OTAs and the departure of Gainwell, Johnson still faces an uphill battle for snaps, as Warren and new Steelers running back Rico Dowdle are expected to control the workload this upcoming season.
