For the first time in his career, Najee Harris has a credible veteran running back in the room. It’s a significant change of pace for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ lead back and one he welcomes. While Cordarrelle Patterson’s presence in no way threatens his status, he appreciates the dynamic his experience provides.
“I love ‘CP’”, Harris said of Patterson via Chris Adamski for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “That’s my guy”. He added that he’s not sure if he should call him an uncle or not, but “It’s good to have a veteran in the room”.
The Steelers drafted Najee Harris in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
