All Quiet On The Fumble Front 300+ Touches Into Najee Harris’ Career

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Najee Harris has recorded 311 touches so far during his rookie season. With three games left to play, he can approach the 400-touch mark—especially if the game circumstances allow for a high volume of work from him.

And yet the most remarkable of his statistics this year is this: zero.

That’s fumbles. He hasn’t put the ball on the ground a single time all season. He hasn’t lost any fumbles. He hasn’t even fumbled. Compare that to other high-volume players. Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts is the only other player over 300 touches.
