The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially signed rookie Kaleb Johnson to a four-year deal, positioning the Iowa standout as a serious contender for the team’s starting running back role heading into the 2025 NFL season.

"It’s a great fit,” Johnson stated. “Learning from Coach Faulkner, he’s one of the greats. As far as [Jaylen] Warren, Najee [Harris] being here, Le’Veon [Bell], all those guys coming here and being successful — Najee had 1,000 yards for four years. That just doesn’t happen for no reason."

PITTSBURGH -- New Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson is a ‘workout warrior,’ in his words, and that mentality is what he is bringing to the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.
