This isn’t Madden. Running backs can’t hold out a stiff-arm every time and expect it’s going to work. Najee Harris has used it just a handful of times this season but when it works, it works. Cleveland Browns’ DB M.J. Stewart was his latest victim, tossed into the ground at the end of Harris’ 32 yard run against the Cleveland Browns Monday night.
Speaking with reporters Wednesday, Harris dished out the secrets of the stiff-arm he dishes out to defenders.
“The open field stiff arms that I’ve been doing, I try to get them to stop their feet,” he told reporters via Steelers.
