Can Najee Harris Set The Steelers Rushing Record?

Last season, rookie Pro Bowl running back Najee Harris etched his name into the Steelers’ record books as he eclipsed Franco Harris’ rookie rushing record, albeit with the added benefit of three extra games, running for 1,200 yards and seven scores. After leading the entire league in touches with 381, Harris proved he is the definition of a workhorse back, so what does he have in store as he enters his sophomore year?

For starters, despite earlier reports of having gained twelve pounds, Harris went on the record letting everybody know he only gained two, and his current playing weight is 244 pounds.
