Pittsburgh Steelers third-round draft choice RB Kaleb Johnson signed a four-year contract with the Steelers Friday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Johnson probably will not start right away but should see a good amount of touches each game while sharing playing time with Jaylen Warren and Kenny Gainwell. He has a chance to become a flex option in deeper leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson can "seamlessly" step into the role previously held by current Los Angeles Chargers RB Najee Harris, in the opinion of ESPN's Brooke Pryor, who adds that Johnson's "physical playing style" is a nice complement to smaller RBs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell.
Huddle Up: A season ago, Harris carried the ball 263 times for 1,043 yards as the thunder to Warren's lightning. Those seem like optimistic totals for Johnson, however, despite the strong possibility that he'll slide into that same role. One, Warren has been joined by Gainwell, who was a solid backup for the Eagles. In addition, the team also traded for DK Metcalf to pair with George Pickens, and if they do sign Aaron Rodgers, the running game may not be featured as heavily this year. For now, view Johnson as a solid RB4/RB5 depth piece with some potential to overperform that designation.

Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 83rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: With Najee Harris out of the picture, Johnson should have an immediate role and share carries with Jaylen Warren. He will be worth grabbing in the later rounds and could end up leading the Pittsburgh rushing attack.
