As was reported here on Thursday, the Pittsburgh Steelers worked out running back Jalen Richard. But it turns out that he wasn't the only running back that Pittsburgh had in town. According to the NFL transaction log from Friday the team also worked out two other running backs.

Former New York Giants fourth round pick Wayne Gallman, and former Dallas Cowboys 2021 undrafted free agent JaQuan Hardy worked out for the team with Richard.
Gallman came to the Giants from Clemson where he had a prolific career rushing for 3416 yards during his three seasons there. Gallman played four seasons with the Giants before signing else where as a free agent in 2021. During his time with the Giants, Gallman started 14 games including 10 in 2020 replacing Saquan Barkley.
In the 10 games he started in 2020 he rushed for 682 yards on 147 carries averaging 4.6 yards per attempt.
Hardy played his college ball at Tiffin. Former Steelers receiver Nate Washington was also a product from Tiffin. Hardy spent most of the 2021 season on the Cowboy's practice squad. He played in three games for Dallas only receiving 4 carries. One of those carries went for 22 yards for a touchdown giving him 29 total yards on the season.
The Philadelphia Eagles recently worked out Hardy but declined to sign the back.
