Roethlisberger's final year would have been an offensive disaster without Najee Harris. Anyone who claims otherwise has a hate agenda. Harris touched the ball more than any player has in one season since then, and teams were crowding the box to stop Canada's short passing attack. Naj was a marked man and still consistently performed.
What a stupid fucking post
Steelers would have gotten the same production from any street FA.

Emphasis added.
That guy is
not simply picked up off the street.

Instead they wasted a R1 pick on a woefully average RB.
Harris was exactly what the team was in need of for that season. A reliable ground attack is a quarterback's best friend. Especially an older QB who doesn't move as well, or absorb punishment as easily as he once could. And, especially for a QB who was playing behind an OL which struggled with pass protection.
All the above sounds extremely familiar, and is currently topical. Aaron Rodgers would sincerely benefit from an improved rushing attack. And it'd be great if Steelers were able to find it in their 3rd Rd pick from this year's draft, Kaleb Johnson.
And you could take most Div I college RB's and replicate Harris' seasons. He barely got to 4 yards per carry his entire career.
Harris is the epitome of NHALS- he'll get you 4 yards per carry and nothing more . A woefully average player

A QB with very limited mobility and an awful offensive coordinator one season, a rookie QB with that same awful offensive coordinator the next season. Yet Harris never missed a game with the Steelers, and showed up to work with a smile on his face all 4 of his seasons in Pittsburgh. There's nothing average about that. That's a hard hat effort right there.
