The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost their highly-respected running backs coach Eddie Faulkner, who is leaving to join the coaching staff of the Baltimore Ravens. Faulkner had been with the Steelers since 2019 and was credited with developing top running backs like James Conner, Najee Harris, and Jaylen Warren.
Why it matters
Faulkner was seen as a rising star in the NFL coaching ranks, and his departure is a significant loss for the Steelers' offense. He played a key role in helping the team become a dominant rushing attack, even when they were forced to turn to backup quarterback Mason Rudolph at times.
The details
Faulkner will reunite with offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford, with whom he previously worked at NC State. He is joining the staff of new Ravens offensive coordinator Jesse Minter, who has been building an impressive group of coaches.
- Faulkner had been with the Steelers since 2019.
- When the Steelers fired Matt Canada during the 2023 season, Faulkner became the co-offensive coordinator along with Mike Sullivan.

The takeaway
Faulkner's departure is a significant loss for the Steelers, as he was instrumental in helping transform their offense into one of the league's most formidable rushing attacks. His ability to develop young running back talent will be missed, and the Steelers will need to find a worthy replacement to fill his shoes.
