James Conner
For any NFL offense to be balanced, they need to have a reliable and consistent run game. It appears that, once again, the Steelers are going to rely heavily on Conner to tote the rock. “Usually, when it’s going well, it’s because you have a lead dog out front, and that guy is the featured runner,” head coach Mike Tomlin said this offseason. Tomlin is a “feature runner type guy by mentality,” and his lead dog is Conner. It seems that the only way a multiple running back situation will come into play is if something happens to No. 30.
