Fitzgerald Toussaint

The Steelers brought in Tossaint midway through last season after Bell went down with his season ending knee injury.  He enters this season as the third running back and will impact an impact on kickoff returns.  Tossaint is unlikely to get many carries in 2016, but is a great insurance policy if either Bell or Williams go down.

Grade: C

He has only played in 9 games in his career after spending the 2014 season with the rival Baltimore Ravens. His 24 carries on 54 yards is nothing to write home about. In his third season out of Michigan, Toussaint has shown some good stuff.

He does have experience in four playoff games, but he needs to hold on to the ball.
