Running Backs

  • James Conner
  • Jaylen Samuels
  • Benny Snell Jr.
  • Roosevelt Nix

James Conner burst onto the scene after taking over for Le’Veon Bell last year and rushed for just short of 1,000 yards and chipped in 12 touchdowns. He will look to build off that performance in 2019. Samuels is a quicker, faster back who should get more carries this season after showing flashes of potential as a rookie last year. Snell is a powerful fourth-round pick who is likely to be the short-yardage/goalline back right away. Roosevelt Nix fills the fullback position for Pittsburgh.

Player to watch: Travon McMillian
