Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. Pittsburgh Steelers running backs coach Eddie Faulkner speaks on the Locked on Steelers podcast about Najee Harris' leadership on and off the field, including how Harris stepped up for players and coaches when Dwayne Haskins sadly passed away in April. Harris isn't just making strides on the field, he's showing growth as a person off it and being a leader even while he rests during Steelers training camp. Faulkner also goes into what he sees in the Steelers' backup running back battle that seems to have fallen between Benny Snell and Jaylen Warren. Snell has taken the first team reps while Harris rests, but Warren has made lots of tacklers miss and big plays in practice. Listen to what Faulkner says Warren is doing in the classroom to combine his progress on the field. Also, Kenny Pickett exclusively ran the Steelers' second team offense. Has he surpassed Mason Rudolph? And Devin Bush takes steps forward to be the starting inside linebacker Mike Tomlin believes he will be this season.
