The Pittsburgh Steelers need to replace RB Najee Harris, and one beat writer believes they must find a similar player. Similar, of course, but not the same. Though they drafted him in the first round in 2021, four years later, they let him walk away. That tells you they weren’t fully happy with what he offered, so what do they learn from that?
You certainly can’t argue that they didn’t do their homework. The Steelers brought in nine running backs for pre-draft visits, some of whom have some similarities to Najee Harris. You don’t want to be too similar, though, and mirror his undesirable career yards-per-carry average.
