In the days leading up to the preseason finale on the road at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers third-year running back Najee Harris heard all the noise.
That noise was the hot takes and endless chatter about second-year undrafted running back Jaylen Warren possibly being the better running back overall and that Warren should surpass Harris in the pecking order in Pittsburgh.
Sure, Warren had the 62-yard touchdown run against the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium and had a nice 10-yard run at Raymond James Stadium in the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it was just that: talk.
