Harris rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown. Harris was the first-round draft choice of the Steelers back in April’s 2021 NFL draft.
While at Alabama, Harris rushed for almost 1500 yards and 26 touchdowns as a senior. He finished 5th in the Heisman behind teammates Mac Jones and Devonta Smith.
He also was a unanimous All-American and first-team All-SEC player as well. Harris also took home the Doak Walker Award in 2020 as the best running back in the country.
Harris hasn’t been able to really get going so far this season behind the Steelers offensive line, but Sunday was a breakout performance he and his team have been waiting on.
