In 2018 Steelers running back James Conner was injured so their rookie 5th round pick Jaylen Samuels got the nod. His first game as a starter he was held to 28 yards on 11 attempts by the Oakland Raiders.
The next week Conner was still out. Their opponent, New England Patriots. Jaylen Samuels then proceeded to run it 19 times for 142 yards, he also caught 2 passes for 30 yards.
He would end his career with 468 yards rushing.
He also randomly broke Le’Veon Bell’s receptions in a game by a running back franchise record in 2019 when he caught 13 passes for 73 yards. He also had 5 passes that season, 4/5, 0 touchdowns, and 1 interception
