Player Outlook

Johnson accounted for 58% of Iowa's offensive touchdowns in 2024. That is the highest rate of any RB drafted Round 3 or higher over the past 10 years. Opposing defenses knew exactly what was coming, Johnson was inevitable. He accounted for 40% of Iowa's offensive yards, second behind only Ashton Jeanty (42%). He did not run a fast 40 time, but Johnson repeatedly broke off explosive plays against Big 10 defenses. The explosive aspect of Pittsburgh's run game has been sorely lacking. Passing downs likely belong to Jaylen Warren, but Johnson might make some serious noise as the offensive engine on early downs in a perfect stylistic fit as part of Arthur Smith's outside zone rushing attack. Najee Harris saw no fewer than 250 rush attempts in four seasons as Pittsburgh's lead back, and Johnson could absorb most or all of his work and expand on the previously lacking efficiency. Johnson is worth targeting at the beginning of Round 6 and higher in non-PPR formats.

Steelers' Kaleb Johnson: Steelers add big Round 3 runner

Rotowire Apr 25, 2025

The Steelers selected Johnson in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 83rd overall. Johnson (6-foot-1, 224 pounds) is a bigger back who clearly fills the void left by Najee Harris, who signed with the Chargers in free agency. Johnson really broke out in 2024, his third season at Iowa, after showing some flickers of promise in his first two seasons. Johnson's box score was notable in 2024, producing 1,537 yards (6.4 YPC) and 21 touchdowns in 12 games, and now he'll compete for snaps against Jaylen Warren. Warren doesn't necessarily need the help -- Warren took workhorse workloads at Utah State and Oklahoma State in college -- but the Steelers will probably give Johnson every chance to at least work into a timeshare with Warren in 2025.
