Ever since All-Pro running back Nick Chubb went down with a season-ending injury in September, the Cleveland Browns have been hunting for depth. Today, that running back was a name familiar to Pittsburgh Steelers fans.
Per the NFL transaction wire, Benny Snell, selected by Pittsburgh in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL draft, worked out with Cleveland.
In four seasons, he played 63 games (five starts), rushing for 982 yards and seven touchdowns. He was the team’s primary backup until Jaylen Warren firmly took hold of that role.
After going unsigned by Pittsburgh this season, the Detroit Lions picked him up, only to release him on cutdown day. He’s been a free agent since.
Snell was always solid on special teams and pass-blocking and could be a nice depth piece for Cleveland.
