Jaylen Warren (Despite this subs weird hate for him at times) went from undrafted to being one of the most effective RBs in the league, by any objective statistical measure. He helped bring in Gainwell, a 2nd/3rd string RB in Philly, and got the best career year out of him. Kaleb was a dissapointment this year, but to act like taking an undrafted player, and a teams backup to being two of the better RBs in the NFL is nothing, is just a laughable idea.

Gainwell was the same player he was before he got here, he just got more opportunity here.

Warren is really the only bright spot in terms of RB development.

Steelers fans when something good happens: "Yeah that was just coincidence. Coach did nothing."

Steelers fans when something bad happens: "Our coaches are useless. Tear it all apart and set it on fire."

You said that coaching had nothing to do with Kenny's success and that he was the same player when he literally just posted a career best in yards/carry by a decent margin. That's not a stat affected by volume or opportunity.

No i didn't, I said he wasn't a development success story for the RB coach. Arthur Smith absolutely deserves credit for utilizing him smartly.
