Najee Harris Or Jaylen Warren – Who Was More Successful In Arthur Smith’s Scheme?

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ backfield could look different in 2025. Najee Harris is set to be a free agent and Cordarrelle Patterson might not make it to the second year of his contract, leaving only Jaylen Warren set to return on a restricted free agent tender. Fit in Arthur Smith’s scheme is key and supposedly the reason why the team declined Harris’ fifth-year option, making him a free agent this March in the first place.

So how did Harris and Warren fit in the Steelers’ run game? Our Clayton Eckert pulled the numbers via Sports Information Solutions (SIS) that breaks down each back’s numbers by run scheme.
