Maurice Jones-Drew Names Najee Harris As RB Whose Production Could ‘Skyrocket’ In Second Half Of Season

The Pittsburgh Steelers had their best rushing output of the season against the Tennessee Titans, and while RB Najee Harris was outgained by RB Jaylen Warren, who had 88 yards to Harris’ 69, former NFL running back-turned-analyst Maurice Jones-Drew sees Harris’ production increasing in the second half of the season. Jones-Drew thinks Pittsburgh’s style is built to bully teams late in the season, and the running game’s second-half turnaround last season will happen again.

“I know Jaylen Warren has been more efficient than Harris of late, but Harris has a physical style and showed tenacious effort shown in last week’s prime-time victory over Tennessee,” Jones-Drew writes on NFL.
