Steelers' Najee Harris on Rumors About Weight Gain: Reporters 'Just Be Tweeting S--t'

On Tuesday, The Athletic's Mark Kaboly reported that Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris was up to 244 pounds, which would have been a major increase from his listed weight of 232 pounds last season.

Harris denied that he's gained 12 pounds in the offseason, however:

Najee Harris

Bra I weighed 240 last year. Reporters really don’t be knowing nothing just be tweeting shit

In Dov Kleiman's defense, the Steelers didofficially list Harris as 232 pounds. If Harris' playing weight last season was in fact 240 pounds, it wasn't public knowledge.
