Najee Harris is already a Rookie of the Year candidate
Before even taking his first NFL snap, former Alabama football star Najee Harris is already getting bids to be the 2021 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Harris was drafted No. 24 overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team with a strong history of great running backs.
There are questions regarding Pittsburgh’s offensive line, but ESPN’s Mike Greenberg and Jeff Darlington think Harris should already have his name written down as the 2021 Rookie of the Year.
“I feel like Najee Harris is going to come into that locker room and get the respect of the guys around him, but also perform like a veteran on the field,” said Darlington.
"Write [Najee Harris'] name down right now for Rookie of the Year."
