Obviously it’s extremely early, but I’m curious on the board’s take of how Harris will do
Fantasy wise? Where do y’all think he’ll be on draft boards?

imagine thinking a RB will solve this:

Steelers O-Line run block rankings:

2020: 31
2019: 23
2018: 12
2017: 7
2016: 4


Steelers offensive line sucks and he is 23 years old. Not a longevity issue by any means, but he was a grown arse 23 year old sometimes playing against 19-20 years olds.

Scary on the college field, but I don't trust him on the Pro field.

2nd rounder, maybe early 3rd in most drafts I’d imagine.

It’s not 2004 anymore. They’ve been an overwhelming pass first and pass centric offense for over a decade now

They had the worst rush offense in the league last year. Which is why they drafted a running back

Tbh this is like getting bad gas mileage on your car and adding a spoiler to the back of the car to fix it

He is a stud that will create much more than benny snell or a beat up Conner. He is a TD Monster in the red zone

He’s a 3 down back. Should see plenty of work in the running and passing game.

I’m not saying Harris won’t be good as a fantasy back, just find it funny that somehow people still think the Steelers are running Jerome Bettis 30 times a game when they are a lot closer to running a Mike Leach offense than that the past decade

I can see Tre Sermon having a big impact for the 49ers

Spending the 24th overall pick on a RB is a pretty good indication that they are going to give him plenty of volume.

Also, even if you don't think the Steelers return to their rushing roots or whatever, Tomlin loves a bellcow. Volume is king at the position. It wouldn't shock me if Najee starts going around the 1-2 turn.

Harris is a smooth route runner and an absolute beast after the catch, as he recorded an unreal 0.583 missed tackles forced per reception in his final season. That is the best figure I’ve ever charted in my six years of doing Yards Created, besting Alvin Kamara (0.53) Christian McCaffrey (0.45) for the top spot.


Dude is sick after the catch.

With an old arse Big Ben possibly feeding him more on check downs could be a monster in PPR.

yea he won't make it out of the 2nd round in most drafts, considering the other options at that position.

talent + opportunity = success and he has plenty of it, even with a shite oline
