Joel,
I think there's a legit chance Najee will win you over by the end of the year.
You won't think he's elite, but you will think that the tandem of him and Warren is "good enough" to win a championship and that the team has other flaws.
If he's anything like the guy who played during the final month of the season, I see 1300+ yards and 10 TD for Najee, while splitting with Warren.
Again, you won't call him elite, but you will think there are other bigger weaknesses on the team.2013 MNF Executive Champion!Comment

RBs on the roster:
Najee Harris
Jason Huntley
Anthony McFarland
Master Teague
Jaylen Warren
Alfonzo Graham
Monte Pottebaum - FB
Conner Heyward - TE/FB
Last season they went w/ 4 RB & a FB. While one of the better FBs in the nation last year: I don't see Pottebaum beating out Heyward for the hybrid H-back position. With Harris & Warren locks, that leaves the other 4 guys fighting for 2 spots. Graham may have a tough time making it.Last edited by Ghost; 05-16-2023, 10:35 AM.sigpicComment

Teague was released todayComment

Can't find it but read somewhere yesterday that the Steelers were kicking the tires on Justin Jackson.Comment

The only TE shorter than 6' in the NFL. They said Tebow was too short to play TE at 6-2. Pottebaum seems to be taking FB reps. (not cutsie brother power, Watt. Tomlin was told to knock that shlt off some). We don't need to pay $3 million for 12 yards a year. Pottebaum can do that for less than 2/3s the price.Comment

Grahams trying out to make 3rd down RB, another tiny guy.

Graham looking "solid"Story by Nick Farabaugh, Steelers Now
UDFA RB Standout
If there is one under-the-radar observation I noted from the start of this entire session with the running backs, Morgan State UDFA RB Alfonzo Graham is the type of guy to root for right away. In fact, he looks solid. He?s quick, has good burst, solid hands, but the most important thing I like about Graham is how quickly he picks up on things. Whenever others mess up in the drill, he adjusts his expectations to the drill accordingly. If running backs coach Eddie Faulkner tells him to fix something, he does. He told me he does reps on air off the side with the other running backs to take mental notes as he learns.
?I?m coming in here and trying to learn as quickly as possible,? Graham said. ?I love being here, and I just want to learn as quickly as possible. So I?ll do anything to gain an edge.?
We?ll see what happens when the pads popping. For now, I?m tentatively intrigued from what I?ve seen from Graham in this first week.Comment

Has a lot to overcome. His "unwillingness/inability" to block in pass protection not good. Hard to believe that out of the 100's of options, he's the best we can do. He is actually smaller than Bryce Young.Comment

Well, so much for my dark horse candidate at RB #3...

I'd be totally happy if they brought back Benny Snell
He wasn't as bad as many made him out to be and could get tough yards when needed"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"Comment
