It might only be the end of May but Najee Harris is ready for August. The dog days of summer are just around the corner and Harris can’t wait to put the pads on and finally hit someone. Right now, it’s football and shorts, and he made it clear to Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews he doesn’t love this time of year.
“Contact-wise, we’re not [doing football activities] and that’s why I just dislike it,” he told Matthews. “I like the contact part.”
That pesky CBA is getting in the way of Harris’ wants, one that had gradually reduced the amount of time in pads players go through whether that’s during the spring, training camp, or in-season.
