2021 NFL Draft: BTSC Steelers Big Board, Top 50 heading into Day 2

The first round of the 2021 NFL Draft is over, with the Steelers selecting Najee Harris out of Alabama with the 24th pick overall.

Here’s my Big Board breakdown of Harris:

24. Najee Harris — RB — Alabama
#22, Senior, 6’ 2”, 230 lbs
2020 season stats: 1,466 rushing yards, 26 rushing touchdowns, 5.8 yards per carry (YPC), 43 receptions, 425 receiving yards, 4 receiving touchdowns.

Ryland B.: Considered a top recruit coming out of high school, Najee Harris underwhelmed in his first few years at Alabama, but slowly improved each season to become the best running back in his draft class by his senior year.
