Kaleb Johnson aims to improve after challenging rookie season with Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson is focused on bouncing back after a disappointing rookie year. Selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Johnson struggled with just 69 rushing yards in 10 games and was benched from kick return duties following a mistake early in the season. He is determined to overcome past adversity and is preparing for a larger role alongside Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle in the upcoming season. Johnson expressed his commitment to steadily improving and waiting for his opportunity to contribute more significantly.
