7 players Steelers fans should focus on at the Senior Bowl

Najee Harris, RB, Alabama

Of all the potential draft prospects who might be available for Pittsburgh this offseason, Najee Harris is one that fans are likely most familiar with. Harris had terrific production at Alabama and projects like a true every-down back at the next level.

While his top-end speed is in question, his size is not, as Harris measured in at 6’1 1/2” and 230 pounds with long arms and big hands. His size and play style has had many liken him to Le’Veon Bell. If Harris confirms his dominance during drills at the Senior Bowl, he could find himself being drafted in the first round this April.

D’Wayne Eskridge, WR, Western Michigan

We know how much Mike Tomlin loves his players from the state of Michigan, and D’Wayne Eskridge should be no exception. Eskridge isn’t a big man (5’9”, 188 pounds) but he makes up with it with his natural receiving ability and athleticism with the ball in his hands.

Because he is a redshirt senior from a small school, Eskridge isn’t likely to go in the first two rounds. However, with a dominant Senior Bowl showing, he could really elevate his draft stock. There’s no doubt Pittsburgh will take an interest in him.
