Najee Harris was the best running back in the country last season, and despite everyone in the world trying to talk him down, the Pittsburgh Steelers bucked against Twitter pressure and actually selected a running back in the first round.
The Steelers had let James Connor go in free agency, so a running back room of Benny Snell, Anthony McFarland, and Kalen Ballage was... less than exciting.
Any time a team picks a running back in the first round, they better be ABSOLUTELY sure he’s going to work out, as there will be extra fan scrutiny.
