    On being the only Steelers RB to rush for over 1,000 in his first four seasons, despite what the haters say the Steelers did him wrong by not picking up his 5th year option.

    1000 yards ain’t what it used to be.
    I thought they should’ve gave him the 5th year option. Now I’m not so sure. His running style doesn’t fit whatever it is we’re trying to do on the Oline scheme.

    Harris can go but not Warren.

    I would say maybe 1200 yards for a RB is impressive--- not 1000 not anymore--- with 1 more game extra.

    The Wide Zone Runs that Arthur Smith employs isn't suited for a Running Back like Najee Harris. For someone like Jaylen Warren?! Seems to fit hand in glove. That said, I do agree that the team should have picked up the 5th year on Najee.


    However, as far as getting 1k yards in four straight seasons?! One has to go back to Chris Johnson from 2008 to 2011 to find the last time that had happened. That alone is pretty damn good. Being the first player in such a time to do so isn't something that shouldn't be slighted.


    Now, is 1k yards what it used to be?! With a 17 game schedule?! No, it is not. That said though, to be that durable as a Running Back for four straight seasons and not have a competent Offensive Line in your first three seasons at that?! That is nothing short of exceptional.


    In comparison?! Derrick Henry, a Hall of Fame bound Running Back, didn't have a 1k season until his third year. SaQuon did so in his first two seasons but was injury plagued. Even someone like Johnathan Taylor or J.K. Dobbins failed this mark after promising starts to their careers.


    In short?! 1K rushing yards isn't much to brag about on its own. Doing so in consecutive seasons, with a poor Offensive Line?! That is worth celebrating over as a fan.

    I’m becoming more certain that the Steelers knew what they were doing by not using the 5th

    I stated before they probably tried to extend him and his value of himself was over inflated

    Maybe if the Oline was more consistent sow would Harris?

    Whoop dee doo

    Rocky got over a 100 yards in a season as a back up in a 14 game season

    Not getting a 1000 is a failure now

    As of this morning Najee wasn’t even in the top 10

    Nobody said 1,000 yards is what it used to be but he has stayed healthy all four years, and he had to split carries the last three years with Warren.

    Najee could do it he got more than 15 carries a game, he did it in his rookie season.

    4th consecutive 1000 yard season for Harris is pretty much as worthless as having non-losing regular seasons while not winning playoff games.

    It's good to see Steelers excelling at useless stats.
