Every NFL team would love to have a running back with the three-down skill set and rare combination of size and athleticism that Najee Harris brings to the table.
That’s why the Pittsburgh Steelers made him the No. 24 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, and he’s already showing off the same pass-catching skills he displayed throughout his time at Alabama.
Despite a loss Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals, Harris led both teams with a whopping 14 receptions for 104 yards, to go along with his 40 yards on the ground.
Harris is big and physical, but he’s got all the skills to be a reliable pass-catcher out of the backfield, especially for an aging quarterback who is struggling to get the ball down the field.
