Steelers' Najee Harris fires back at reporter over weight gain claims

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has fired back over reporters over just how much he used to weigh during his rookie season.

Najee Harris’ first season in the NFL was certainly a learning curve for him, but based on his initial displays, it’s pretty clear to see why the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to spend their first round pick on him.

Despite being new in the league and having to work behind an offensive line that was ranked 26th by PFF last season, he still managed to rank 4th in terms of overall rushing yards with 1,200, which turned into 7 touchdowns along the ground whilst also adding in 467 receiving yards and 3 more touchdowns through the air.

Now moving onto his second season, a year that could prove incredibly beneficial for him, especially if the Steelers look to lean on him whilst the likes of Mitch Trubisky gets used to the Steelers offence and Kenny Pickett adjusts to NFL life.
