The Pittsburgh Steelers under head coach Mike Tomlin love to stay old-school when it comes to the running back room, having a reliable workhorse running back at the top. Najee Harris certainly was that last season as a rookie, touching the football 381 times (307 carries, 74 catches).
Harris finished his rookie season with 1,200 yards on the ground and another 467 yards through the air, combining for 10 scores, but with an improved offense around him thanks to the signings of Mitch Trubisky, Mason Cole and James Daniels, and the selections of Kenny Pickett, George Pickens, and Calvin Austin III in the draft, there could be an argument for the Steelers to lighten Harris’ load in 2022.
