Steelers’ Najee Harris Near Bottom Of The League In PFF’s RB Elusiveness Rankings

Somehow, after leading the league in forced missed tackles combined on carries and catches as a rookie for the Pittsburgh Steelers, second-year running back Najee Harris ranks near the bottom of the league in the latest elusive RB rankings from Pro Football Focus, which dropped Wednesday morning from analyst Bryant Horn.

Harris was a force in 2021 as a rookie, touching the football 381 times, gaining 1,667 yards on the year with 10 total touchdowns. According to my own personal tracking, Harris forced 99 missed tackles in the 2021 season, averaging just under six forced misses per game.
