Warren's contribution to the game may not have been evident in the boxscore, but if you watch the footage again, you'll notice some excellent things.

On Tuesday, head coach Mike Tomlin was questioned regarding how Warren performed after replacing Najee Harris, and he responded as Tomlin as he could.

Warren only managed seven yards on three runs, but he stood out for three massive blocks, demonstrating that he has a thorough understanding of what it takes to be a complete running back in the NFL.

We will have a much clearer idea of Warren's potential effectiveness if Harris' foot issue prevents him from playing against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
