Najee Harris Named One Of The Top Five RBs Under 25

Yesterday, NFL Network’s GMFB Host Peter Schrager unveiled his list of the top-5 running backs under the age of 25. To no surprise, the Steelers’ Pro Bowl-rookie workhorse Najee Harris made the cut. The NFL leader in offensive touches a season ago with 381, Harris racked up 1,200 yards rushing, breaking Hall Of Famer Franco Harris’ longstanding franchise rookie record of 1,055 that’s stood since 1972, albeit in 14 games compared to Najee’s 17. The team’s first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft wasn’t done there, as he also showed off his chops in the passing game, hauling in 74 catches, highlighted by a 14-grab, 102-yard effort in a game versus the Cincinnati Bengals last season.
