Color Najee Harris a bit star-struck going against Los Angeles Rams’ defender Aaron Donald on Sunday.
“I was asking for his autograph,” Harris told Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Brian Batko after the game.
The interaction was a little one-sided, though. “He wasn’t talking to me, I was talking to him. I was like, ‘Hey AD, if you tackle me, that would be my dream.’ He didn’t say nothing. It was just me. I was just being a fan.”
Najee Harris was very funny talking about his in-game, uh, exchanges with Aaron Donald. They weren’t really exchanges at all.

Harris finished the day with 53 yards on 14 carries and three receptions for 15 yards. It was the most he’d been targeted in the passing game all season, and his rushing touchdown was his first of the season.
