Got word that the Steelers are high on Kaleb Johnson, which, of course, couldn't qualify as news. But this word was more specific: They're seeing him as a bona fide threat within the passing game, and I'm talking primary target.
I'm not writing an Insider this week, so thought I'd just share that as it arrived.
It'd be fascinating to see that, in part because the NFL trend for throwing to running backs has gone precisely the opposite direction for seven straight yearsnow.
