Maurice Jones-Drew Places Najee Harris Just Outside Top 10 of Starting NFL Running Backs

It is no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ resurgence late this season was because of their running game. Running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren have powered the Steelers during their three-game winning streak that has seen them sneak into the playoffs. Harris, in particular, has been running strong recently, surpassing the 100-yard mark in the past two games.

In seeing Harris’ strong late-season performance, NFL.com’s Maurice Jones-Drew ranked Harris as the 11th-best starting running back for the 2023 season.

“While cycling through quarterbacks, the Steelers leaned heavily on their backfield duo of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren,” wrote Jones-Drew.
