Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike Tomlin has always been able to make players like Najee Harris want to play for him. It’s not often that you come across a former player who ever has anything bad to say about him. And most of the few who do probably end up regretting it at some point down the road. While the term “player’s coach” is a double-edged sword, his players wield it freely as an honorific.
That’s what Najee Harris did in singing Mike Tomlin’s praises on Thursday. He has played his entire career with the Steelers, yet at the same time, he knows it’s different elsewhere.
