Whether it was the lost weight, the added motivation from a declined fifth-year option, or the new offensive system, RB Najee Harris is finally looking like the first-round pick that the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him to be.
For the first time in his career, he is coming off three straight games of over 100 rushing yards. He has been electric ever since a two-game slump during the Steelers’ losses to the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys.
He used to be considered a purely between-the-tackles runner who couldn’t work out in space, but I think many of those fears have been put to rest over the last few weeks.
