Could Najee Harris Set The Steelers’ Rookie Receptions Record?

Chase Claypool is the new Steelers’ rookie leader.

Maybe not for long.

Finishing last year with 62 receptions, Claypool broke Troy Edwards’ 20-year franchise mark for grabs by a rookie. But could his record go as quickly as it came?

There’s a case to be made Najee Harris has an outside, but still legitimate, shot at breaking that mark. Bouncing off Matthew Marczi’s question he posed yesterday, there’s a couple of reasons.

One, Harris was, to me, the best receiving back in the draft. There were other talented ones: Travis Etienne, Kenneth Gainwell, Kylin Hill.
