Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Najee Harris helped his team eke out a 29-27 home win over the Chicago Bears Monday night. But since Harris was playing, he had no chance of hearing what ESPN's live broadcast had to say about him during one moment of the game, wherein Steve Levy stated that the former Alabama Crimson Tide tailback used to sleep on the floor.
However, that story is not true at all, with Harris refuting that statement on Twitter following the game.
Bra I ain’t sleep on no dam floor in college. I slept on my bed

What's undeniable, though, is that Harris is having an amazing first year in the NFL with the Steelers. Although he rushed for just 62 yards on 22 carries against the Bears, he recorded a rushing score to add to his season total. He now is 10th in the NFL in rushing yards (541) and tied for fourth with four rushing touchdowns.
Barring a serious injury that would keep him out for an extended period of time, Harris is going to see a huge workload through the remainder of the season. The Steelers' budding star could put up a more impressive performance in Week 10 at home against the toothless Detroit Lions run defense that is among the worst in that area in the entire NFL.
