The tea leaves are starting to connect

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted their likely next RB1 in the form of Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson. The Big Ten’s leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns brings a unique balance of speed and power that will fit great in Arthur Smith’s scheme, and he will be set up to succeed immediately.

Not only did the Steelers get a new potential star, Johnson is also a big hint that Aaron Rodgers is on his way to Pittsburgh. As the X account Blitzburgh pointed out, Kaleb Johnson posted an Instagram story recently of him and the four-time MVP training together.

This, combined with the fact that the Steelers passed on selecting Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders not once but twice, tells us that the Steelers know Rodgers is heading to Pittsburgh. Getting the four-time MVP in an offense with DK Metcalf, George Pickens, Jaylen Warren, and Johnson is going to be a sight to see this season, should it become a reality as expected.
