He’s played two games in the NFL and is already considered a horrible pick by football expert.
Adam Levitan of Establish the Run says that the Steelers drafting Najee Harris in the first round of this past NFL Draft is one of many “egregious” picks made over the past five years.
That seems extremely premature considering the Steelers offense is still searching for its identity, one they will only be able to discover if the offensive line can get its act together.
Over two games, Harris has only had 16 rushes in the first game against Buffalo, picking up 45 yards and 10 rushes in the 26-17 loss to Las Vegas for 38 yards.
Harris also had one catch against the Bills for four yards and five catches against the Raiders for 43 yards.
Harris is a big, strong back who can also catch. The offense may not be clicking currently but it isn’t because of him.
Just watch this clip of him using a brutal stiff arm to pick up an extra five yards.
But Harris isn’t the only RB on Levitan’s list of bad first round picks over the past five years.
Travis Etienne, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Josh Jacobs, Saquon Barkley, Rashaad Penny, Sony Michel, Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey also are on his list.
