So, who exactly is Kaleb Johnson? He’s a running back—but calling him just a “running back” is like calling a pizza “bread with sauce.” He’s so much more. Drafted in 2026, he’s already turning heads with a blend of speed, power, and cheeky agility.
Did I mention he’s built like a brick outhouse? The man runs with a chip on his shoulder and a smile on his face. It’s honestly a little unfair.
From College Surprise to NFL Hype
Kaleb came from Iowa, where he wasn’t always the main attraction. But that’s the best part—he’s been underrated his whole life. Think of him as the quiet kid in class who suddenly aces the final and drops the mic.
At Iowa, he averaged over six yards per carry in his senior year. That’s not just good—that’s “please, sir, may I have some more” territory. The Steelers saw that and thought, “Yep, we need this guy in black and gold.”
