One thing that will seemingly never change in the game of football, it seems, is that the Pittsburgh Steelers build everything in their offense around a strong running game. They recently got a boost in that department with the signing of free-agent LeGarrette Blount, giving a little help to second-year back Le’Veon Bell.

But, the Steelers might not be done just yet in beefing up that backfield as they held a workout Tuesday with Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk, and Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette sees the team going after the tough speedster.

Baylor RB Lache Seastrunk, who is visiting #Steelers today, is high on their RB list. Don't be surprised....

Should the Steelers make this move, this would create quite the three-headed monster in the backfield in the Steel City.

The past two seasons, Seastrunk has rushed for over 2,100 yards and 18 touchdowns.

This would also create the opportunity to keep all of the running backs healthy and fresh, something the team has had problems with in recent years.
