It was no surprise when the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Alabama star running back Najee Harris in the first round. The team made their plans pretty clear, and it was equally clear that HC Mike Tomlin and GM Kevin Colbert considered Harris an every-down back, able to run downhill and run routes on passing plays.
In his NFL debut, the rookie RB played every single one of the offenses plays, a total of 55 snaps with 16 rushes for 45 yards and 1 reception on 3 targets. He was the only RB of 32 teams to play every down in Week 1.
