Ranking the top 10 Steelers players on the roster for 2022

4: Najee Harris should have a better season with a better line in front

Najee Harris is coming off a great rookie season considering the type of offensive line that he had blocking for him. He was able to push through and get as many yards as possible every time he got handed the ball. It was a good season and now the team will likely look to him to help set the pace on offense for the Steelers.

2022 will be a unique time as the offense will be full go under Matt Canada. Harris seems like he will have a gigantic role in that system as the quarterbacks figure out positioning and continue to learn the offense. Getting this back the ball will be something that should get called upon more to lean on despite the rushing offense being in a state of struggle for a while now.

A new revamped offensive line seems like it should be able to make this Alabama product’s life a lot easier. There have been different starters and competition brought in to create a better product in the trenches. That upgrade should create an even better season for Harris.

This club is relying on him a lot and there are no other backs that could even come close to his talent level. He is the top back and will likely have to carry the bulk of carries like last year. He is vital to this offense. If he runs well then that will open things for the passing attack.
