The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a major move to bolster their backfield, securing former New England Patriots running back on a four-year, $57 million contract. The deal brings one of the NFL’s most physical and dynamic rushers to Acrisure Stadium, adding another weapon to Pittsburgh’s offense.
Stevenson, known for his bruising running style and versatility as a pass-catcher, had been a key piece of New England’s offense. Over his tenure with the Patriots, he proved himself as a reliable three-down back, capable of making plays in both the ground and air attack.
With Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren already in the Steelers’ backfield, the addition of Stevenson raises questions about potential roster moves. However, Pittsburgh’s front office appears committed to strengthening the run game and giving quarterback Kenny Pickett more support on offense.
At 6-foot, 230 pounds, Stevenson brings a physical edge to the Steelers’ run game, something head coach Mike Tomlin has always valued. His ability to grind out tough yards while also contributing as a receiver out of the backfield makes him a perfect fit for Pittsburgh’s offensive scheme.
The move signals the Steelers’ intent to compete in the AFC North, as they look to keep pace with Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. If Stevenson can stay healthy and maintain his production, he could quickly become a fan favorite in the Steel City.
With the ink now dry on his deal, Stevenson is set to bring his power-running style to Pittsburgh, giving the Steelers another offensive weapon as they push for a deep playoff run.
