Have the Pittsburgh Steelers finally given up on RB Anthony McFarland Jr., Matt Canada’s one-time project?
The Steelers drafted Anthony McFarland Jr. in the fourth round in 2020. That is also the year the Steelers hired Matt Canada as quarterbacks coach. And I suspect that they already had ideas then that he might be their future offensive coordinator.
Canada coached McFarland during their brief time together at Maryland. The running back had his best college season during his one year under Canada, who served as interim head coach in 2018. It’s not hard to make the connection.
