Former Steelers RB Steals Show in UFL Matchup
Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland had his first highlight reel moment of the UFL season, showing off the speed and versatility that got him drafted in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. During their game against the Arlington Renegades, McFarland - who plays for the San Antonio Brahmas - took a catch in the flat 52 yards to the house, getting through three defenders before making his way to the endzone. This season, McFarland has totaled 110 rushing yards and 172 receiving yards with four touchdowns. The Brahmas are 3-1 after Week 4's victory over the Renegades.

Great get for the Steelers. Fautanu has all the skills necessary to be a long-term starter on the offensive line, which is something that Pittsburgh still needs. Fautanu can play guard or tackle and now the Steelers have a strong duo up front between him and Broderick Jones.

Expert Commentary
The Steelers continue their major youth movement up front. First Broderick Jones last season, then Troy Fautanu in the first round of this year's draft, and now Frazier to man down their center spot. The Steelers clearly wanted to fix the offensive line this year and they’ve certainly moved in the right direction.

The Steelers needed some wide receiver depth and they got it, but they might have been better served finding a bigger play wide receiver. Still, Wilson will learn quickly with the big target vacuum he’s walking into.
