Jonathan Dwyer, Running back

Jonathan Dwyer was an on-again and off-again starter for the Steelers for a few seasons in the 2010s. He was platooned with Isaac Redman for a while; they were a starting duo for a while before Le’Veon Bell was brought in. He wasn’t the best overall player, but he did the job when his name was called upon.

His best season came in 2012 before he slowly lost relevancy over the years here. Bell was drafted in 2013 and that is when Dwyer was not able to stay on the field. he was relegated to a depth role and that turned his career downhill.

His time with Pittsburgh would come to an end soon after Bell joined the club and really broke onto the scene as one of the best running backs in the NFL. Dwyer would decide to go onto another team and sign with the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent. He would only last a couple of months there before he would be out of the league.

This running back was arrested on domestic violence charges in his short stint with the Cardinals. He would not stick with the team and his career came to an end. He was a stopgap running back that started for this team for a little bit before he committed a heinous act and was rightfully booted out of the NFL.
