Anthony McFarland Jr. 2021 Outlook
With the selection of Najee Harris in the first round of April's NFL Draft, it's safe to say the rookie will be a dominant force. The Steelers didn't use that draft capital to watch Harris share carries. Remember, Pittsburgh's running game hit rock bottom last season, finishing dead last in the NFL. As SBNation.com noted, the Steelers' offensive line grew old and ineffective, and the team is in the process of trying to rectify that problem -- a process that could take some time. Along the arrival of Harris, along with the change in philosophy and personnel along the offensive line, could we see a change for McFarland, who is a different type of player than Harris is? Needless to say, McFarland never received consistent touches at any point in the season to find any semblance of his comfort zone. Without the benefit of being a part of a regular running back rotation, McFarland was viewed as a specialist of sorts and was only utilized to run a specific set of plays. This made his usage predictable and limited his effectiveness. Is there any reason to believe -- other than injury or attrition -- that will change for either McFarland or Benny Snell Jr. this season, especially with free-agent signee Kalen Ballage in the mix as well? Probably not.
