Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Najee Harris is quite the load, and he just showed off his physical prowess with a Derrick Henry-esque stiff arm against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Just look at this beast:

That would be Johnathan Abram who got tossed to the ground like a rag doll by Harris, who's a robust 6-foot-1 and 232 pounds.

The Steelers picked Harris with the 24th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The running back starred at Alabama and is now ready to be Pittsburgh's star running back. Harris had an absolutely monster season for the national champs in 2020, rushing for 1,466 yards and 26 touchdowns. He also caught 43 passes for 425 yards and four scores.
Harris was rather quiet in the Steelers' Week 1 victory over the Buffalo Bills, rushing the ball 16 times for 45 yards in a defensive battle. He's off to a solid start in this game against Las Vegas as Pittsburgh looks to get to 2-0 on the season.
The Steelers were one of the most dominant teams in the NFL to start the 2020 season, only to fade late and lose to the Cleveland Browns in the playoffs. The win over the Bills was a good message sent to start 2021, and we'll see if Harris, Ben Roethlisberger and Co. can keep up their early success.
