Najee Harris Thrived On Zone Runs In 2022, According To Pro Football Focus

Down the stretch in the second half of the 2022 season, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris really started to play at the level in which the Steelers envisioned when they drafted him in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Alabama.

Harris became that bruising, chain-moving running back in the second half of the season for the Steelers, thanks in large part to his success on zone runs.

In Matt Canada’s offense in Pittsburgh, the inside zone run scheme is just one part — but an integral one — of the rushing attack.
