University of Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson had a top-30 visit with the New York Giants on Wednesday, according to his Instagram account. The Giants continue to do their homework on a deep class of running backs with the 2025 NFL draft just around the corner. The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton also reported that Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough recently visited with the Giants after visiting with the Cleveland Browns. Tyrone Tracy Jr. took over the lead-back role from Devin Singletary in his rookie season in 2024 and was impressive with his big-play ability, but he also had fumbling issues and could be asked to share more of the workload in his sophomore season if the G-Men add a notable back in this year's draft. Johnson is more of a powerful, between-the-tackles runner who had 1,537 rushing yards in his final year at Iowa in 2024.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Athletic's Mike DeFabo lists Pittsburgh Steelers rookie third-round running back Kaleb Johnson as a co-starter with Jaylen Warren in an early look at the team's positional battles this offseason. Johnson, who stands at 6-foot-1, 224 pounds, is a physical back that is built to carry the load. It remains to be seen how the Steelers will divvy up the touches in their backfield in 2025, but it's widely believed that Johnson was taken with the 83rd overall pick to essentially replace Najee Harris, who signed with the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency. The 21-year-old had 240 carries for 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns for Iowa in 2024 and also caught 22 passes for 188 yards and two more TDs. Warren starred in a third-down role for Pittsburgh his first three years and will take valuable touches away from Johnson in his rookie campaign, even if Johnson is the go-to guy on early downs.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Steelers used the 83rd pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to add Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson in the third round. He had a solid year with the Hawkeyes despite their struggles on offense, totaling 1,537 rushing yards and 21 rushing touchdowns on 240 attempts and adding 188 more yards and two touchdowns on 22 receptions out of the backfield. Johnson was a consensus All-American and a finalist for the Doak Walker Award as the top running back in the nation. This year, he'll team up with Jaylen Warren, who signed his restricted free agent tender, and Kenneth Gainwell to make up the primary options in the Steelers' backfield after the departure of Najee Harris to the Chargers. Johnson could replace Harris as the team's short-yardage, bigger back in the rotation.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

University of Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson visited with the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday after visiting with the New York Giants on Wednesday, sources told The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton. The Bengals currently have the 49th and 81st overall picks in this year's NFL draft in Rounds 2 and 3, respectively, and it seems clear that they want to give Chase Brown help in the backfield via this year's draft. Cincy has brought in multiple RBs for visits during the pre-draft process, including Ohio State star Quinshon Judkins. They are scheduled to meet with Judkins' teammate, TreVeyon Henderson, as well. Johnson had a whopping 1,537 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns in 2024 and added 22 catches for 188 yards and two more TDs. If the Bengals like the 21-year-old enough, they may have to trade up in the draft to select him.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
