Steelers Host Washington RB for Pre-Draft Visit
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have as strong a running back duo as anyone in the NFL with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren in the backfield but they could look to add some depth in the backfield in the NFL Draft.
The Steelers are taking a close look at Washington tailback Dillon Johnson and will hold a top 30 visit with him according to a report from Bleacher Report's Ryan Fowler. Johnson will also have meetings with the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings.
Johnson was the leading rusher of the national runner-up Huskies this season. He played by far the best season of his career in 2023 after transferring to Washington from Mississippi State, totaling 1,385 total yards and 16 touchdowns on 257 total touches.
In three seasons and 25 games at Mississippi State, he amassed 2,062 total yards and 12 touchdowns while averaging 5.5 yard per touch.
Johnson has limited special teams experience but is versatile as a pass-catcher and rusher.
