Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has struggled in his second year in the NFL. On the first day of training camp he suffered a foot injury that bothered him until only a few weeks ago.
Last season, Harris was a dynamic back partially due to his pass catching ability, but this season he has not been utilized as much in the passing department. Part of the reason for that is Jaylen Warren’s emergence as a pass protector, something he is much better at than Najee Harris. This has led to Harris’ touches in the passing game to decrease due to him being off the field in some passing situations.
