Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley hasn’t given up on Dri Archer quite yet — as a running back or a kick returner.

Haley said Wednesday there needs to be patience with the development of the Steelers’ 2014 third-round draft pick out of Kent State and that the Steelers plan to find a specific role to highlight’s Archer’s best aspect: his 4.2 speed.

“The important thing is that we do have a role for him if he is going to have a helmet on Sundays and he gets his five and six touches a game,” Haley said Wednesday during the Steelers Nation Unite “Weekly Huddle” fan forum session.

“Any one of those plays he has the chance to take it to the house with that speed. Let’s just have a little patience and let him continue to develop, and we will definitely have a plan to get him touches throughout the season.”
