The Pittsburgh Steelers 2021 first round draft pick, Najee Harris, made his mark on the Steelers and the NFL in his very first season. Breaking the Steelers rookie rushing record with 1,200 yards exactly, it’s only the second time a rookie has rushed for more than 1,000 yards Steelers history with the other being Franco Harris having 1,055 yards in 1972.
As important as Najee Harris was to the Steelers offense, the question often asked of players as they head into their second season is how much they will grow and improve after having one season, and a full NFL offseason, under their belt.
