The Pittsburgh Steelers have made headlines once again, confirming a bold and intriguing trade for a dynamic dual-threat running back in a move that signals their intent to add explosiveness to their offense heading into the 2025 season.
In an official statement released by the team Wednesday morning, the Steelers announced the acquisition of the versatile back from an undisclosed team in exchange for a mid-round draft pick and future considerations. While full details of the trade are still emerging, the newly acquired player is expected to play a major role in both the ground game and passing attack.
“This is a player we’ve had our eye on for some time,” said Steelers GM Omar Khan. “He brings a unique skill set to our offense — a guy who can run between the tackles, catch out of the backfield, and be a real threat in space. We believe he can elevate our offense to the next level.”
The addition is a timely one for Pittsburgh, which has been looking to boost its offensive versatility and provide additional support to rising quarterback Kenny Pickett. The dual-threat back is known for his elusiveness, reliable hands, and ability to serve as a third-down weapon — a skillset the Steelers have lacked consistently in recent seasons.
Head coach Mike Tomlin echoed the excitement, calling the acquisition “a strategic piece that adds speed, flexibility, and depth” to their offensive game plan.
While Najee Harris remains the lead back in Pittsburgh, this move gives the Steelers a valuable one-two punch — and potentially allows for more creative offensive packages in 2025.
Steelers Nation is already buzzing with anticipation as the newest member of the Black and Gold prepares to make his mark at training camp.
