Steelers Rookie RB Najee Harris Receives High Praise from an All-Time Great RB

[Steeler Nation]

The Pittsburgh Steelers spent their 2021 first round pick on Alabama RB Najee Harris. Everyone is raving about the young running back’s work ethic and skill level. We have seen them working out together all over social media, but it’s never a bad thing to receive some high praise from a legendary NFL running back like Adrian Peterson. Peterson responded to a post made by B/R Gridiron that mentioned QB Ben Roethlisberger saying that RB Coach Eddie Faulkner had to tell Harris he had to leave after the rookie RB stayed for hours after practice.

All Day loves the rook @ohthatsNajee22’s work ethic

I think Harris will do well, but I am cautious. I can't help but to think about this former Alabama RB.

This sounds all too familiar:

Some even consider him the best running back prospect since Adrian Peterson entered the league in 2007.

Brown's answer as to why he finds Richardson "ordinary" was far from convincing.

The thing that separates Richardson from his peers is his combination of size, speed and moves. At roughly 5'9", 228 pounds, the playmaker can go over, under, through and around would-be tacklers and make moves with ease (just ask Senquez Golson).

He contributes in the passing game as both a receiver and a blocker, and he's one of the few guys who is capable of legitimately carrying the load like the running backs of old.

Jim Brown is entitled to his opinion, and in most cases I'd listen to him, especially when talking about running backs, but his answers lead me to wonder just which of Richardson's game film he was watching.

The Browns have a major need for a running back and offensive playmaker—Richardson is both of those things in one.

I don't see any similarities in the two players. Besides the obvious same college comparison. Two vastly different running styles,sizes, skill set, vision capabilities. I get some people have the Alabama maxed out phobia, but with Harris he checks every box off and then you can add great vision,toughness,pass catching ability, nose for the endzone, and want to. Meaning he is a try hard mixed in with his mentioned talents. I am not sure how he will top out but his floor seems pretty high.

Since I don't watch college ball consider me on board with what you're saying!

Last three 'Bama backs taken early: Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs and Najee Harris. No worries because of the 'Bama connection.
