Bryant McFadden elogia a dupla de running backs dos Steelers

O ex-cornerback dos Steelers, Bryant McFadden, destacou o potencial da nova combinação de running backs da equipe, formada por Rico Dowdle e Jaylen Warren.

McFadden afirmou que a dupla pode se tornar a melhor da AFC North caso permaneça saudável. Ele observou que o estilo físico dos dois se encaixa na tradição dos Steelers de um jogo terrestre duro e de sempre ganhar jardas extras após o contato. A dupla se junta a uma linha ofensiva que continua em desenvolvimento, com jogadores como Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick e Zach Frazier ganhando experiência.
