After letting James Conner leave in free agency a number of years ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rushing attack suffered greatly. For a team with a history of being physical and winning on the ground, the Steelers lacked that punch that usually made them dangerous. To solve this, they drafted Najee Harris in the first round of the 2021 draft, and that decision has seen moderate success.
Harris hasn’t been unbelievable, but he’s been good and reliable, oftentimes without much support from the pieces around him. However, now it seems like he may leave the Steelers after this season, which could leave Jaylen Warren as the feature back.
