Former Steelers RB Najee Harris: Offense didn’t have identity in Pittsburgh

Jarrett Bailey has been the deputy editor for Behind The Steel Curtain since 2023. He also serves as an NFL contributor for The Sporting News, and is the host of The Pump Fake Podcast. He lives in Pittsburgh and is a lifelong Steelers fan.

The Pittsburgh Steelers shocked many fans last summer when they declined to pick up the fifth-year option of running back Najee Harris. After what was three straight 1,000-yard seasons at the time, it felt easy to pen in that he would be with the Steelers through 2026. Instead, he signed with the Los Angeles Chargers at the beginning of free agency and has taken a few subtle jabs at the Steelers.
