Well…
Sucks he left…I mean he was pretty damn good
So now Warren and last year’s dud Johnson are the stable
Johnson needs to show everyone why he was taken in the 3rd….he showed me little in limited action
Gotta add to that….what are we thinking? Low level FA or mid draft pick?

I’m thinking Dowdle or a 3rd round pick. I like the Penn State backs.

For nostalgia, I watched Gainwell highlight reel from last season. Making guys miss, acceleration, hands, he was good last year.
Warren and Gainwell are similar and productive. Just saw we signed Rico Dowdle.

Steelers just signed Rico Dowdle.
Warren/Dowdle are 1a/1b however you want to interchange it. Kaleb Johnson? Cut candidate IMO.

He's going to have to impress, that's for sure.

It seemed like a pretty obvious signing given his experience with our new coaching staff. I wonder if they chose him over even trying to keep Gainwell?
