Kevin Smith and I covered the top three running backs in the 2021 draft yesterday, today we are going to talk about some of the other backs that the Steelers could select if they don’t get one of the three we already covered.
Geoff: Michael Carter from North Carolina is a interesting prospect. Some places have him rated higher than his teammate, Javonte Williams, who we covered in our previous article, while others have him as a 6th or 7th round pick. Carter is a small back, he’s 5’8” and 200 lbs, and he didn’t post a crazy 40 yard dash time, but on film? Michael Carter might have the best vision in the running back class and while he doesn’t have a crazy top gear speed, his acceleration when he cuts is top notch, and he’ll break bigger runs because of it.
