The Pittsburgh Steelers have made the decision to address their running back void in 2025 NFL free agency, rather than wait for a strong draft class. The Steelers have inked Saquon Barkley’s Philadelphia Eagles backup Kenneth Gainwell to a one-year contract.
“With Najee Harris headed to the Chargers, Kenneth Gainwell will immediately step in and play a key role in the #Steelers’ backfield — alongside Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson.”
Gainwell recorded 406 scrimmage yards, one touchdown and zero fumbles in the Eagles’ Super Bowl season.
