Second-year Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris recently told Bryant McFadden on the All Things Covered podcast that he would take on 500 touches if that’s what the team needed from him to win games this year.
In the past, he’s also talked about wanting the workload. He even said during OTAs that he was talking with the coaches, trying to fight for some more touches as they talked to him about getting him to take more time off during games.
But when it comes down to it, he knows the deal. Nobody can sustain a relentless workload and be better for it.
