When Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media on Thursday, he was asked about running back Najee Harris and his lighter workload during training camp and the preseason.
Tomlin downplayed it noting that it wasn’t anything “earth-breaking or ground-shattering” about it but it was a curious statement in one sense. His insinuation that lightening his workload has anything to do with age is puzzling. Harris is only 25 years old and heading into his third season. Is this where we are as a league that running backs are getting old at 25 after two seasons?
