The Pittsburgh Steelers running back has high expectations, but one NFL analyst has a massive prediction about him.
PITTSBURGH -- Najee Harris has been a consistently good running back since the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him in 2021. With over 1,000 yards in each of his three seasons as a member of the Steelers, Harris has been a great option across the league in his short tenure as an NFL player.
However, he's never been the best running back in the league. In 2021, Jonathan Taylor had 1,811 rushing yards, which was 611 more than the 1,200 that Harris had. In 2022, Josh Jacobs had 1,653 which was well ahead of Harris' 1,034. In 2023, Christian McCaffery had 1,459 which was still 424 more than Harris."I think Najee Harris leads the league in rushing by 200 yards," Klassen said on. “Arthur Smith wants the big man to run the ball.
It would be quite a feat for Harris to finish 200 or more yards ahead of the second best rusher, considering he has not been within even 400 yards of the top rusher in any of his years in the league." and cited his lack of efficiency per play as a reason why the goal seems far-fetched. While Arthur Smith's system will likely be quite run-heavy, it seems unfathomable that Harris would be able to beat out every running back in the league in rushing yards by 200 or more. Even with the weaker WR core, the usage of Jaylen Warren will make this notion all but impossible.
