VIDEO: First Look at Najee Harris at Steelers Minicamp

There's no way to put it nicely: the Pittsburgh Steelers had one of the worst rushing attacks last season. The team averaged 82.5 rushing yards per game (32nd) with only 23.64% of their touchdowns coming on the ground (31st). That's why Pittsburgh made it a goal to improve its running game over the offseason.

The Steelers didn't waste much time improving their backfield. Pittsburgh selected Alabama Crimson Tide running back Najee Harris with the No. 24 pick at the 2021 NFL Draft. With so much excitement surrounding Harris after the draft, Steelers fans finally got their first look at him at the team's rookie minicamp on Friday.

Obviously, it's tough to tell how Harris will perform based on a quick video, but that doesn't make it any less exciting. Harris will likely be the Steelers' No. 1 running back for the 2021 NFL season, so any video we get of him is appreciated by the team's fanbase.

Harris was an absolute force for the Crimson Tide throughout his four-season tenure with the school. He recorded 4,624 total yards from scrimmage and 57 touchdowns in just 51 games, with most of his production coming over the past two seasons as Alabama's starter. It's equally important to mention that Harris was a two-time All-SEC player and was even the conference's championship game MVP in 2020. So, not only has he been impressive on the field, but it's also at a level that was much higher than most of his peers.

So, if someone can live up to all the expectations put on him, it's Harris. He's currently tied for having the 7th-best odds to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award at +1500, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Considering the opportunity that Harris has in his rookie year, he has pretty good odds to grab a lot of attention this season.
