Trey Edmunds Run

It’s great to have a fullback back in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ arsenal. Trey Edmunds’ 45 yard run Sunday, the longest by a Steelers’ running back since DeAngelo Williams four years ago, proved it.

That gave Maurkice Pouncey the time and leverage to make the key block to spring Edmunds down the right sideline.

So let me know your thoughts in the comments below. And thanks for watching.
