The NFL is filled with underrated and underappreciated stars. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ best offensive player in 2026 has been running back Jaylen Warren, who has introduced himself to the outside world with his breakout campaign. Steelers fans knew how dynamic the running back was, but this season Warren has taken his game to another level. With over 100 rushing yards, Warren added 87 as a receiver, including an 80-yard house call on a screen from Aaron Rodgers as the Steelers nailed down a much-needed victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Last season was Warren’s first 1,000-yard rushing season, and the former Oklahoma State Cowboy is well on his way to shattering that with 410 rushing yards on just 70 carries. A 5.9-yard-per-rush average would be another career high, besting his previous high mark of 5.2 in 2023. Warren has completely broken out, and it comes at the best time for the Steelers and their offense.
