The Steelers have historically favored a downhill, power-run blocking scheme, often utilizing an I-formation or single-back set to establish the run and set up play-action.
Initially a rotational depth piece and special teams contributor, Rainey has the ceiling to develop into a dedicated third-down back with significant usage in passing situations.
A strict two-back power run scheme that prioritizes between-the-tackles grinding and requires defenders to be consistently run over rather than outmaneuvered.
Rainey's electrifying speed and agility make him a valuable asset in space, but his undersized frame and limited power prevent him from being an every-down back in a traditional system.
