The Steelers finally went back to Steeler style football with this pick. I hoped for a back like Le'Veon Bell but didn't think he'd be there this late. He is a big guy at 6'1 230lbs. He is athletic, powerful and is an instant upgrade to the Steelers backfield.
Le'Veon was a really productive back at Michigan State carrying 382 times for 1,793 yards and 12 touchdowns as a Senior. He is big but has great speed running a 4.5 forty yard dash. Most people will be disappointed that this is not Eddie Lacy but this is a Steeler style running back. In the last few years we've went away from Steeler football and Le'Veon helps get us back to that type of football.
