Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris has put up back-to-back 1,000+ rushing yard seasons to begin his career, but it’s not due to his efficiency. Harris has yet to average more than 3.9 yards per carry, ranking 41st in the NFL at 3.8 yards per carry last season. NFL analyst Charles Davis wants to see Harris break that 4.0 threshold, saying that 4.2 yards per carry is a realistic expectation.
“They’ve got a running back who is a terrific player in Najee Harris. But he can’t even average four yards per carry. Let’s get him to 4.2 yards a carry and press him for 1,500 yards this year.
