Ben Roethlisberger: Najee Harris ‘Does A Lot More Than What The Stats Say’

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris made team history last night, but he did so in rather unremarkable fashion. The rookie first-round pick accumulated just 59 yards from scrimmage against the Los Angeles Chargers, albeit on 17 touches, tied for the second-fewest touches he has had in a game during his young career thus far.

Still, he crossed the 1000-yard mark on the night in yards from scrimmage, becoming the first player in Steelers history to do that in his first 10 career games, and only the 30th player since at least 1950, according to Stathead. And as the guys around him will tell you, his contributions go beyond the numbers.
