Throughout the season, the one Pittsburgh Steelers player who was consistent in his message and his effort was running back Najee Harris. Every week he went out and played hard and tried to do his best to maintain a level of discipline and professionalism that he was accustomed to at the University of Alabama.
After Monday’s loss, Harris offered up some hard truth about the changes he feels need to happen with the team and it was all about being more committed and more disciplined.
“In-house rules. Not no changes or coaches or anything like that. Just the rules that are in the building,” Harris said. “We’ve got to be more disciplined. We’ve got to be more committed. I’m not saying that we’re not, but coming from a place that has structure and coming and just seeing, we could probably get help in these areas; make a change. I think that’s something that could help. I’m not saying anything about coaches or anything like that; I’m saying in-house rules.”
“When I first got here, it was just how things were. I don’t know how it was when I wasn’t here,” Harris said. “I have my opinion on things, but obviously, it doesn’t matter; I’m just a player. The guys in that building know what I’m talking about. They’ve heard it, it just might be the first time y’all are hearing it.”

Keeping in mind that Harris comes from the University of Alabama football program where former head coach Nick Saban ran a tight ship and also one of the best programs in the country. It’s no coincidence that Harris along with safety Minkah Fitzpatrick have been the most vocal about these issues as both played for Saban at Alabama.
