Frisco, Texas – Over the past few years, Najee Harris has been a consistent runner for the Pittsburgh Steelers. While he might not have been as productive as some other running backs, he’s been a reliable player. But scheduled to hit and likely to reach free agency, the Steelers could target a running back in the draft. It sounds like they’re doing their due diligence, meeting with Arkansas RB Ja’Quinden Jackson at the East-West Shrine Bowl.
“It was a great conversation,” Jackson tells me at the Shrine Bowl. “We put on some games, [watched] tape.”
Jackson has a profile similar to Harris.
