It’s finally that time of year again. It’s early August, and that means NFL games are ready to be played. The Pittsburgh Steelers have the honor this year of being a part of the first of the season, facing the Dallas Cowboys in the Hall of Fame game, during an extended weekend that will also mark the enshrinement of five of their own, including Troy Polamalu and Alan Faneca.
It will also mark the NFL debut of what the team is hoping will be the next great career in Pittsburgh, with first-round running back Najee Harris. Head coach Mike Tomlin said that the rookie will play in all four preseason games, explaining that it’s appropriate for a player in his position to acclimate to the environment.
