The start to his promising NFL career had to be pretty frustrating for Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie running back Najee Harris.
Coming out of the University of Alabama as a Heisman finalist and a bonafide star at the position, the transition to the NFL was projected to be a smooth one for the first round draft pick at No. 24 overall, becoming the first running back off the board in a loaded class.
Instead, Harris ran into wall after wall behind a rebuild offensive line, rushing for just 45, 38 and 40 yards in his first three weeks.
