Newly acquired running back, Najee Harris is already enamored with life as a Charger after signing with Los Angeles this week in free agency.
Harris returns to the West Coast to play in his home state of California after spending the first four seasons of his professional career in Pittsburgh as a Steeler. Before even rushing a down in powdered blue, Harris is already spotting the differences in his new NFL environment compared to his previous home in Pennsylvania.
The fifth-year tailback made this obvious in his introductory press conference with Los Angeles on Friday, comparing the Chargers facilities to those in Pittsburgh and reverting back to his college days at the University of Alabama.
“It’s a great weight room, first of all,” Harris said. “Even the facility, is all great things. A lot of things that they provide here you can take advantage of. I was telling them, it’s not like this everywhere, man. This is a special thing right here. It reminded me of college at Alabama, all the resources that we have. So just getting the chance to take advantage of all these opportunities is a blessing. And I was telling him, y’all have a great thing going on right now. It’s not like this everywhere. It’s not. Man, yeah, I’m just happy to be here.”
Harris now hopes to make the most of his surroundings after agreeing to the terms of a 1-year deal with the Chargers.
