Steelers’ Najee Harris Finishes Season As Top 5 RB, According to NFL.com RB Index

If the 2021 season showed anything about the future of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, it’s in great hands with running back Najee Harris.

Throughout a trying season that featured plenty of ups and downs, Harris was somehow able to rush for 1,200 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground, setting a new franchise rookie rushing record, breaking Hall of Famer Franco Harris’s mark of 1,055 set in 1972. On top of the raw numbers, Harris showed a tremendous amount of determination and overall fight on every single rep and really helped set the tone of a rebuilt rushing attack.
