In just his second season in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is already making history.

The franchise announced on its Twitter page that Harris has become the first running back in Steelers history to rush for at least 1,00 yards in each of his first two seasons in the NFL.

Harris was the team’s first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and was an immediate difference-maker. As a rookie, Harris ran for 1,200 yards on 307 carries and seven touchdowns. He followed things up this season by recording 1,038 rushing yards on 272 carries and another seven touchdowns.
