Adrian Peterson is just a shade of his younger self, but here are three reasons why it would make sense for the Steelers to sign him.
I’m not oblivious to the fact that the Steelers just spent a first-round pick on a running back for the first time since taking Rashard Mendenhall back in 2008. Najee Harris is a do-it-all workhorse back who will be able to operate as a runner, blocker, and receiver for Pittsburgh. He’s a guy that you will rarely want to take off the field, and he should help make this offense better in 2021.
