Najee Harris Expected To Serve As Three-Down RB
3 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers have very high expectations for first-round rookie running back Najee Harris this season. Team GM Kevin Colbert told reporters that he thinks Harris can be a three-down back as soon as his rookie year. Colbert was quoted as saying, "Him coming in as a senior out of college, he has more experience than some of the other underclassmen, so I think that will help him transition. He's coming out a traditional NFL-type offense that should help him transition." In the Mike Tomlin era, the Steelers have been a team that likes to feature one running back, with Najee Harris queued up to be the next bell-cow back for the team. He is a safe bet to finish as an RB1 in fantasy this season and is worth picking as early as the second round in fantasy drafts.
