With the 24th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Najee Harris, the running back out of Alabama. Harris was nearly the consensus top RB prospect in this year’s draft class across the board, being regarded as the big, powerful feature back the Steelers haven’t had since Le’Veon Bell decided to hold out before the 2018 season.
While Harris figures to be a key piece to revive the porous running game Pittsburgh has dealt with the past several seasons, many have already begun to analyze his potential contributions from a fantasy football perspective as well heading into the 2021 season.
