Shaver’s Studies: Najee Harris And Steelers RB’s Pass Pro Numbers

Najee Harris was the epitome of a workhorse running back in 2021 for the Steelers. His 381 touches on offense during the regular season led all players at the position. Harris also had the distinction of the highest number of snaps as a pass blocker as a RB as well.

Harris logged 128 total pass blocking snaps – the highest for a RB since Justin Forsett of the Baltimore Ravens tallied 129 during the 2014 regular season. What’s also noteworthy for Harris is he’s the first rookie to lead the league since T.J. Yeldon also did so with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2015.
