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.
