Najee Harris

Guys got legs like sequoias.

 

Najee
A couple of new lineman
A QB who isn’t petrified

It might even be fun to watch the Steelers offense this year

 

I know it'll never happen, but I'd love to see him knock somebody out with a stiff arm. I mean Mike Tyson the guy, out cold. That would be righteous.

The guy is an absolute animal with that stiff arm.

 

Najee Harris = Ben Kenobi. He's our only hope.

 

Do not forget two new WR Options that can go deep. No seriously, the teams Receiving Corps just got a lot faster.




Now and, as always, on paper, this looks incredible. In practice though?! Time will tell. I can say this though...


... at worst, whomever our starting QB is will have more capabilities to not just operate inside but outside the pocket than Big Ben did a season ago.

 

Le'Veon Bell's stiff arm of Dre Kirkpatrick was pretty close.

 

If he get's help,lookout. Barring injury a superstar in the making.

 

Idk... Didn't seem like he had a ton of speed or elusiveness last year...Is this a good thing?

 

I assume he is expecting a heavy level of work this coming season. Yes, he is now 244 lbs. but there is a difference on not just how he has bulked himself up to that point. What is most important is which areas of his body have been strengthened.


That is part of the equation here. The other is his conditioning. Thankfully... I do not need to think the former is an area of concern.

 

I agree about his explosiveness, so maybe he should go for strength /aggression. Both can be effective. He's not gonna bust many 20+ yard runs. But, if he can average 4 yards a carry, then he can be effective.

 

He is so talented better hands than our receivers. What a weapon!

 

I like this group better than the group they had in 2021, JuJu and Washington couldn't take the top off of coverage, we should see more explosive plays down field with this current group.

 

Yet He had a longer TD run than L. Bell ever did His whole time Here.

 

He was hit behind the line on over 60% of his carries..... Is anyone really surprised that he put on more weight

 

Wasn't he just on vacation? Hahahahahahaha!
Salt on the margaritas can make you gain 10lbs in a week!

 

Yep.


Be it Mitch or Kenny, the Deep Ball should return in 2022.

 

I think it makes sense to reserve judgment until we get a good look at how he moves with the additional weight. That said, look at the images and video from OTAs. He didn't get fat. He got stronger. I'm not sure if that is a good idea if he lost any speed at all, but I'm willing to wait and see.

 

Najee is a beast. With better O Line play the skies the limit. I would like to see a small reduction in carries and more positive yards. He will be a huge part in this offense.

As Ask indicated the receiver crew is going to be a force. And fast!

Looking forward to what the Offense brings

 

It all went to his thighs. Tree trunks! He is cut and it looks like he has put on major muscle mass. Body fat index low.

 

Reminds me of John Rahm a member of the PGA tour.

 

I'm not sure why you cut out the rest of my post, which went on to point out that it looks like he got stronger, not fat. I still have two concerns. One is that he might have lost speed to gain power. People can make all the Derrick Henry comparisons they want, but Henry was already a lot faster than Harris.

My other concern is leg muscles like that can put a strain on ligaments. See Saquon Barkley.

 

Those 2 WR draft picks i look forward to as well.

 

Speed was never a part of Najee's game, I'm not worried about him losing anything over the added weight.
