Pick Analysis. RB. Alabama. 24. 55. Scouting Report. Najee Harris. player

The 2020 Pittsburgh Steelers were the final unbeaten team this season, going 11-0 before losing their first game against the Washington Football Team. Once they were handed a defeat, they started to struggle some, losing three in a row before stopping the bleeding against the Indianapolis Colts.

That win gave them the AFC South title, so they rested starters in Week 17 which led to them losing to the Cleveland Browns. That also opened the door for the Browns to play them in the postseason and their divisional rivals handed them another defeat.

Looking back over their season, the Steelers had a lot to be proud of. Their passing game was on point and their defense had some brilliant moments. Where they fell short, however, was in the running game. James Conner led the way with 721 yards and Benny Snell had 368 but the Steelers are at their best when they can dominate on the ground — and with Ben Roethlisberger getting up there in age, it’s paramount they can run the ball.

That becomes much easier with the selection of Najee Harris, the 230-pound star from Alabama. Harris was a monster this past season with 1,466 yards and 26 touchdowns and is exactly what this Pittsburgh offense needs to try and repeat as AFC North champs.
