It’s time that we have this discussion.
Now, we’ll get this out of the way first- yes, Jaylen Warren’s long touchdown run was in a preseason game. It can also be true, though, that Najee Harris doesn’t have that explosiveness to pop off a huge run. While Harris got the vast majority of touches out of the backfield last season, the numbers show that Warren should be more of a focal point, and potentially even be the No. 1 back in the offense.

Last night told a story in it of itself.
