'Workaholic' Najee Harris quickly endearing himself to Steelers, fans

PITTSBURGH -- Running to his left, Najee Harris took the handoff from Ben Roethlisberger on the second play of the Pittsburgh Steelers' team run period Saturday afternoon.

Almost instantly, he met a swarm of defenders, including Pro Bowl defensive lineman Cameron Heyward. Harris, though, didn’t stop.

Almost like a magic trick, he bounced off and through the scrum and continued to string out the run, turning what looked to be a negative play into a 5-yard gain.

“Not every play is going to be blocked,” Harris said Saturday.
