Tom Reed over at DK's site has a fantastic article on Najee, the place he grew up in, the people who helped him get out, and more. Kid had it rough growing up, but shaped himself into an outstanding young man. Easy to root for a kid like this!


“'The kids gave Najee a hug and wished him well,' Malu said. 'But I overheard one of them say, ‘After this week, you can’t come by like this no more.'

Najee Harris made it out. Those who kept watch over him in the plaza, and still have his best interests at heart, think it’s wise for it to remain that way."

GREAT find SteelBuckeye but that seems to be a paid article. I started to read then it wanted me to download it's app and send me notifications.......... I just don't do that type of stuff so clicked out.

He is a very good RB and very good person, I'm so happy for this type of player and hope we can get more with this type of placement.

Yeah, I was unsure as to whether it was a paid article or not. I'm a subscriber to DK's site. I like it a lot more than the two loudmouths over at the Trib. The P-G is pretty decent too. But, I just want to read the sports section, so, is spend my money with DK and am pretty happy with that.

It let me read it without paying or downloading anything. Great article, what a tough life he had to grow up through.

This kid deserves all the good things that his talent and hard work will bring him for sure

Hey SteelBuckeye, I tried it again and it let me read the whole story. AMAzING kid (Harris). I'm even more glad we got him. Where was this story before the draft?


EDIT: THANKS a whole bunch for posting it for us to read !!!

Man, this kid is impressive. Still numb from the thought we were able to add a blue chip, top-of-the-line, game-changing superstar in the draft. Not bad, for the #24 pick. What more can you ask for from a 1st rounder? I can't describe how excited I am to see what this offense will look like, working with the overall skillset Najee brings to the table. Yowsa.

The nearest Steelers bar.
Yeah, but Najee seems to have showed up completely out of shape. I mean, look at this:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thought you&#39;d wanna see some pics of <a href="https://twitter.com/ohthatsNajee22?ref_src=twsrc^tfw">@ohthatsNajee22</a> <a href="https://t.co/KsxR6Zn7ER">pic.twitter.com/KsxR6Zn7ER</a></p>&mdash; Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) <a href="">May 14, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The guy is truly a 3 down back, his catching ability and route running is very underrated
