Harris should continue to be the lead back in Pittsburgh despite the team declining his fifth-year option this offseason. Since 2021, the physical workhorse ranks in the top four in the league in carries (834, second), rushing yards (3,269, fourth), scrimmage touches (978, first) and forced missed tackles (222, first, per PFF). He will again compete with Jaylen Warren for snaps this fall, but there is potential for Harris to have his best performance to date. Not only is Najee working under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who worked with Derrick Henry in Tennessee, but he’s also joined in the backfield by a pair of mobile quarterbacks (Russell Wilson and Justin Fields).
