The Pittsburgh Steelers running back got a little extra contact during drills.
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris got a little extra contact from former linebacker Ryan Shazier during practice. As the runners went through individual drills, Harris took on the contact dummy, but his helmet didn't make it through the drill.
Harris and Shazier both laughed after the play as the running back picked up his helmet. And in classic Harris style, he made sure to come back on the next play with vengence, giving a little extra "umph" with his shoulder as he ran through the drill. Harris is entering a contract year and has plenty of expectations surrounding him for this season. With three consecutive 1,000-yard years, it's a major question whether or not he'll continue that streak - and if his time in Pittsburgh will end if he can't.
As for Shazier, he's spent all of OTAs with the Steelers, primarily working with the running backs. The former superstar inside linebacker has always shown up to help with the team, and appears to be taking on a bigger role with Eddie Faulkner and company this season.Noah is the Publisher for All Steelers, Inside the Panthers and Inside the Penguins , and is the host of All Steelers Talk .
