El exentrenador en jefe de Iowa, Kirk Ferentz, expresó su optimismo en que el corredor Kaleb Johnson pueda mejorar en su segunda temporada en la NFL con los Pittsburgh Steelers. Johnson tuvo dificultades durante su año como novato tras ser seleccionado en la tercera ronda en 2025. Ferentz comparó la situación con los inicios de la carrera universitaria de Johnson.

Ferentz habló el martes en 93.7 The Fan sobre los desafíos de la transición a la NFL. Señaló que Johnson cometió un error costoso en una patada de salida en la semana 2 de su temporada de novato y nunca recuperó un tiempo de juego constante. Johnson terminó con 28 acarreos para un promedio de 2.5 yardas por intento y ningún touchdown el año pasado.
