Over that stretch, Gainwell logged 291 yards with five touchdowns on the ground alongside 253 yards through the air. In Philadelphia&#8217;s Wild Card round loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that year, he ran for 49 yards and a score on five carries.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_eo5tz8jrw\">As the Eagles went 14-3 and traversed their way through the NFC en route to a Super Bowl berth in 2022, Gainwell rushed for 240 yards and a touchdown while tacking on 169 receiving yards in the regular season before putting up 236 yards from scrimmage in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8i7lm8115\">He then recorded a combined 953 yards and three scores from scrimmage while taking a back seat to D&#8217;Andre Swift and Saquon Barkley in 2023 and 2024, respectively.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8jbdhshie\">Gainwell now joins Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson in Pittsburgh&#8217;s running back room, though the team will almost certainly add another option at the position via the NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_jsnaelq1j\">The 26-year-old will likely serve as a change-of-pace back within the rotation who garners plenty of snaps on third downs due to his aptitude in pass protection.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_xzmqv9ygo\">Make sure to bookmark Steelers On SI to get all your daily Pittsburgh Steelers news, interviews, breakdowns and more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell&#8217;s last few months have been quite memorable, to say the least.
