It didn’t quite go as planned, aided by an injury, but it did help him secure a historic mark. Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris set a new NFL rookie record for the most touches without a fumble. He already had the most touches without a fumble heading into week 18 with 366, but, of course, you have to finish the year and make sure you don’t fumble before you can earn the record.
The first-round pick did return to the game in the second half after suffering an arm injury, and it helped him make his mark even more impressive.
