The day that the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted RB Najee Harris in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, he was put on the trajectory of becoming one of the team leaders.
Harris was praised by many at the University of Alabama for his relentless work ethic to become the best player he could be on the football field, and the obsession has since followed him to Pittsburgh. RB Coach Eddie Faulkner has told him to go home multiple times when the second year back has asked to watch more tape or get more reps in for fear of Harris burning himself out.
