The Steelers got a well-rounded running back in Alabama’s Najee Harris. Here are his high-end, low-end, and most likely comparisons in the NFL.

For only the second time in the past 31 years, the Pittsburgh Steelers took a running back in the first round of the NFL draft. This is a position that the team has never put a lot of draft capital into. Even Jerome Bettis and Le’Veon Bell – two of the best backs to ever wear black and gold – were acquired for just second-round picks.
