Danny Smith said the quiet part out loud. The Pittsburgh Steelers depth chart shows Najee Harris the starter with Benny Snell and Kalen Ballage behind. But to accurately represent the pecking order, there should be tiers. It’d look like this.
Tier 1: Najee Harris
Tier 14: Benny Snell, Kalen Ballage
And nothing else in-between. Harris is the bellcow, through and through, and the Steelers figuratively declared it by burning a first round pick on him this April. Smith literally declared it so speaking with reporters last week. And made clear what the roles of everyone behind him will be.
