No. He's always been slow. He just kind of sucks as a RB.

I'm not one to overhype a JAG RB, because that's exactly what Steele is, but he DOES do a few nifty things when he has the ball in his hands. At the very least, he's shown that he can reliably convert in short yardage. That's one more skill he has than some of the other piles of poop who have graced our backfield over the years.
If he does eventually learn how to block, he's a fine 3rd RB. And you can say all you want about how he's easily replaceable, but why replace him unless you have a demonstrably better guy playing that position?
