Najee Harris is the first running back off the board.
The former University of Alabama standout was selected at No. 24 overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers. After it traded James Connor, Harris provides the team with a complete player at the position. The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder has the speed, power, athleticism, and pass-catching abilities to help Ben Roethlisberger. He fits the toughness of the Steelers and the toughness of the AFC North Division. Harris finished the 2020 season with 1,466 rushing yards, 425 receiving yards, and 30 total touchdowns.
He also ended his tenure at Alabama as the school’s all-time leading rusher.
The two-time national champion is ready to show the pros how west coast athletes operate.
