7/13/2023 0 Comments Steelers rosterI wouldn’t anticipate much more in the way of offensive snaps than in his first two years, but Watt isn’t going anywhere. Well, Heyward has only taken snaps at tight end, and you can never underestimate the staying power of a veteran special teams contributor with the Steelers. FB Derek Watt: Many believe Watt could be a cap casualty in September considering his salary and the fact that the Steelers drafted Connor Heyward.The best-case scenario for the Oklahoma State running back would be a spot on the practice squad. RB Jaylen Warren: You can pretty much say the same about Warren as about Durant, other than the signing bonus.It doesn’t ensure him a spot on the practice squad (see Shakur Brown last year). That means they at least had significant interest. The Steelers gave the Duke running back a $15,000 signing bonus as an undrafted free agent. RB Mataeo Durant: The Steelers need depth at running back, maybe not for this season but perhaps for 2023.He could be used more on third downs or be a part of the jet-sweep designs Canada employs. RB Anthony McFarland Jr.: McFarland had a heck of a training camp last year, but it didn’t translate to the regular season.Now, Snell has slimmed down and transformed his body into something more typical of a running back, which should help his quickness. He also filled in against the Chargers and Giants and went for 17 for 75 and 19 for 113. His one stinker was eight carries for 5 yards two years ago against Washington. Snell started five games in three years and had 21 carries for 98 yards, 18 for 91 and a TD, 16 for 60 and 18 for 84 and a TD. ![]() RB Benny Snell Jr.: Snell has taken a lot of criticism in his three years with the team, and, really, it’s unwarranted.If the front five can give him a crease, then it’s going to be a special season for Harris. Harris has transformed his body into something even more than he was last year, and last year he was a pretty powerful running back. ![]() With the uncertainty at quarterback, that’s likely a good idea.
