Legendary RB Adrian Peterson Says Steelers’ Rookie Najee Harris Is ‘Built Different’

All eyes appear to be on Pittsburgh Steelers’ big-name rookie running back Najee Harris this off-season.

The top back in the 2021 NFL Draft and one of the best college football players in the country the last two seasons, Harris finds himself on the radar of a number of stars in the NFL despite not playing a single snap in the league to date.

One guy that has his eyes on Harris is future first-ballot Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson, who says Harris is “built different.”

Peterson commented on a post on Bleacher Report about Harris and his work ethic, which has kept running backs coach Eddie Faulkner in the office longer than expected each day due to his commitment to film work and overall preparation ahead of his rookie season.
