🏈 Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune is hearing that the Minnesota Vikings will play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland. The NFL will announce its International Games on Tuesday, May 13 on the Emmy-nominated Good Morning Football on NFL Network.
🏈 Matt Bowen of ESPN thinks Kaleb Johnson is a perfect fit with the Steelers.
“Johnson is at his best in the outside zone game, a foundational part of coordinator Arthur Smith’s offense. He presses the edges and is good at finding cutback lanes to get north-south with the ball. At 6-foot-1 and 224 pounds, he can also push through arm tackles for explosive plays,” Bowen wrote. “Johnson had 21 rushes of 20 or more yards in 2024, which was the second most nationally behind Ashton Jeanty. He’ll share the backfield with Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh, but he could emerge as the early-down runner. In the pass game, Johnson will see targets on screens and swings.”
