Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has put the entire NFL on notice to start the 2026 season, and Pro Football Focus's new data just further proves why he's among the league's very elite.
On Friday, PFF's X account posted a statistic highlighting Warren's utter dominance, as he leads all NFL running backs with 6.2 yards per rush vs. eight-plus defenders in the box.
Warren is ahead of Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker (5.4), Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (4.9), Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (4.7) and Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (4.5).

Warren has been unstoppable over the past eight games,
recording 998 yards from scrimmage on just 144 touches, including an incredible 6.9 yards per touch.
While Warren has been by far the Steelers' best weapon on offense, as evident by the PFF metrics, one NFL analyst pointed out that the team needs to give him more opportunities moving forward.
