Steelers

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren takes pride in his ability as a pass blocker, saying he enjoys bringing physicality to his game. 

“It’s the way I play the game,” Warren said, via Nick Farabaugh of PennLive. “I love the physicality of it. There’s no burden. I love that aspect of the running back position.”

Warren admits he has to recover from some of the hits he delivers as a blocker. 

“Some deal more damage than others. But, you know, I’ll never show that,” Warren said. “You always want to be the hammer. But I definitely got to recover after some of them.”

When asked if Warren is being overlooked as a quality running back, Aaron Rodgers said the running back has proven to be great in protection and on third downs. 

“I don’t know what the narratives are out there, but Jaylen’s super-smart,” Rodgers said. “I know he was a great change-up back. He was great in protection, great on third downs. But I think he can be a three-down back, and that’s the biggest compliment you can give a running back.”
