Entering the fourth-and-final year of his rookie contract, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris has a little bit extra to prove in 2024. His fifth-year option was declined, so he has this upcoming season to brush up his football resume before entering unrestricted free agency next March. The size of his next contract will greatly depend on his performance this year. For those reasons, Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay listed Harris in his recent post highlighting players entering make-or-break seasons.
“The Pittsburgh Steelers seemed to have the league’s next star running back on their hands when Najee Harris landed a Pro Bowl nod as a rookie in 2021,” Kay wrote.
