Batko Wonders If Steelers Would Be Willing To Take Another ‘Leap Of Faith’ On First-Round RB So Soon After Najee Harris

The Pittsburgh Steelers want to run the ball, although one wonders if the conviction will be as strong in 2025. The 2025 NFL Draft could be very telling, with one sign being more overwhelmingly obvious than all others. In 2021, they used their first-round pick on RB Najee Harris—could they draft another running back four years later?

Obviously, the fact that we could discuss the possibility of the Steelers drafting a first-round running back four years after doing so with Najee Harris tells us a big part of the story. Harris is gone, leaving in free agency, presumably by the Steelers’ choice.
