Through his first two seasons in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has cracked 1,000 yards rushing and shown flashes of being a dominant running back. But overall, he’s been one of the least efficient running backs in the NFL.
That’s led to some questions about Harris and his overall future in Pittsburgh with questions about him being the right guy for the Steelers and the right piece overall in a run-heavy offense that the Steelers seemingly want to play in 2023 and beyond.
Former NFL head coach and longtime defensive coordinator Dave Wannstead, appearing in a video for The 33rd Team Monday, stated that he believes Harris is the guy who will lead Pittsburgh to the promised land offensively, thanks to an improved line in front of him and signs of improvement from second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett and third-year coordinator Matt Canada.
