J.C. Hassenauer Sees Najee Harris As Tremendous Asset: ‘I’d Love To Block For Him’

The Pittsburgh Steelers knew they were putting a lot of eggs in one basket when they used their first-round pick to draft a running back, but they believe they have the right man in Najee Harris, the Alabama product coming off of a national title season.

While it’s clear that he is their workhorse running back, the team is still sorting out who will block for him. One potential option is J.C. Hassenauer, whose most likely path to a starting job would be at center, where he started three games last year. Hassenauer was Harris’ teammate for a brief time with the Crimson Tide.
