PITTSBURGH -- As soon as Najee Harris saw the Miami Dolphins pull ahead of the New York Jets in the final minute of Sunday's game, effectively ending the Pittsburgh Steelers' season, he walked up to quarterback Kenny Pickett and shook his hand.
The second-year running back told the rookie he had a great year, appreciating the effort and improvement Pickett showed after taking over the starting job in Week 4.
The Steelers finished short of their postseason goals, but led by their first-round pick at quarterback, the rookie class laid building blocks for the future with significant contributions throughout the 2022 season.
