Thanks to the 62-yard jaunt through the Buffalo Bills’ defense Saturday night at Acrisure Stadium, second-year running back Jaylen Warren has sparked a seemingly silly, needless debate on social media regarding him and third-year running back Najee Harris for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It’s well-known that Harris isn’t a home run hitter. It’s not his style. He had just eight 15+ yard runs last season on 272 carries. That’s who he was in college, too, so it’s not anything new for the Steelers.
Yet Warren’s run against the Bills has created this debate with many in the media in the city of Pittsburgh trying to make the case that Warren is the better running back than Harris and should be the Steelers’ top back over the former No.
