Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban coached former Steelers RB Najee Harris in college, and he sees a lot of similarities between Steelers third-round pick Kaleb Johnson and Harris. On the ABC broadcast of the NFL Draft, Saban said that Johnson and Harris are the same type of player and that Johnson is a “really good fit” for the Steelers.
“They lost Najee Harris, the Steelers. To me, this guy’s that type of player. He’s really a downhill runner, he’s got great size, he’s a great zone runner to stretch, put his foot in the ground, hit a crease and go.
