Arthur Smith led the universe last year in 22 personnel. They will either have a FB or a TE/HBack that looks exactly like a FB.
You are probably right

Still

I think Edwards has some juice and if this team is gonna run the ball a lot they REALLY need a 3rd RB like Edwards
This will happen… but it’s going to take at least a year to turn the ship

Saw an interesting article that the Steelers are following what the Eagles do for UDFA which is not sign many.

"It's the smallest undrafted group I have ever been a part of. I think we only signed seven guys, so yeah, it's different. I believe a big part of that is because we made a conscious decision after the season to try and recruit guys from teams' practice squads, where we had some tape to watch.”

John Rhys Plumlee was a fun player to watch at Central Florida. He broke some big runs. A broadcast one time reported that he had been clocked in the 4.3s for his 40 time.

His athleticism would allow Pittsburgh to simulate any running QB in practice very effectively.
