Steelers Rookie RB Kaleb Johnson Eager to Prove He Can Do It All, Blocking Included

Rookie running back Kaleb Johnson, a third-round pick, has displayed several long runs so far at the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2025 training camp in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
Coach Mike Tomlin plans to test Johnson's readiness by lining him up against star linebacker T.J. Watt, who is the NFL's highest-paid defender.
Meanwhile, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made some good throws including a touchdown pass to DK Metcalf but also threw interceptions, one caught by new free safety Jalen Ramsey during the third camp practice.
Rodgers, a four-time MVP, said, "I'm going to throw some picks," but also "some touchdowns too," and believes the Steelers rank among 10 to 12 legitimate championship contenders.
The developments suggest the Steelers are integrating new talent aggressively while hoping their revamped roster can end a playoff victory drought nearing a decade.
