Pittsburgh Steelers fourth-year defender Marcus Allen is going to see a lot of NFL running backs this preseason, his first complete year as a linebacker after the team converted him from safety. For now, he is seeing a lot of Najee Harris, the Steelers’ first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and starting running back for this season.
Through four days of training camp and multiple days of the backs-on-backers drill, Allen and Harris have been a common matchup. Allen began the reps strong on Day 1, but Harris got his shots in on future reps that day and on Day 3.
