Rodney Harrison Critiques Najee Harris's Performance

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is having a solid 2024 season, currently on pace to surpass his career-best rushing total with 645 yards and three touchdowns through nine games. However, former NFL safety Rodney Harrison has criticized Harris, suggesting that Jaylen Warren should be the starting running back instead, claiming Harris appears to run as if his legs are heavy. Despite this critique, Harris has shown improvement in breaking off long runs compared to previous years, and the Steelers have no plans to change their starting running back. The team is performing well, sitting atop the AFC North with a 7-2 record, and Harris is expected to be a key player moving forward. The Steelers declined Harris's fifth-year option, making him a free agent after the 2024 season, which raises questions about his future with the team. As Pittsburgh prepares for a crucial game against the Ravens, both Harris and Warren's contributions will be vital for the team's success.
