The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping they have drafted an elite running back this year in Alabama’s Najee Harris, who was selected in the first round Thursday night in Cleveland, OH. In making him their selection, Harris became the first running back drafted in the first round by the Steelers since Rashard Mendenall in 2008. Since he was drafted, Harris’ mentor, former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch had some interesting comments about his protégé in the final segment of a series of videos orchestrated by AL.com.
“Physically, I mean, shit, he a God damn freak of nature,” Lynch said of Harris.
