Harris was selected in the first round with the 24th overall in the 2021 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.[49] He was the first running back selected.[50] On May 25, 2021, Harris signed his rookie contract with the Steelers, worth $13.1 million including a $6.9 million signing bonus over four years.[51]

In Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Harris recorded 142 all purpose yards, including 14 catches in 19 targets. This tied the NFL record for most catches in a game for a rookie running back, and were the second-highest amount of targets for a running back since 1992 (when the data was first tracked).[52] In Week 5 against the Denver Broncos, Harris recorded 122 yards on 23 carries and a rushing touchdown in the 27–19 win.[53] It marked his first game rushing over 100 yards. He became the first Steelers' rookie to score a rushing touchdown and record 100 yards rushing on his first five games, since Franco Harris in 1972.[54] In Week 17, Harris ran for a career-high 188 yards and the game-sealing touchdown in a 26–14 win over the Cleveland Browns.[55]

[edit]

Harris got off to a slow start in 2022. Through the first eight games of the season, he only managed to eclipse 50 rushing yards three times and scored three total touchdowns. It brought into question whether the Lisfranc sprain he suffered in training camp was affecting his production, although Harris claimed that was not the case.[62][63] Following the team's bye week, he would go on to rush for more than 50 yards in seven of the last nine games and score seven total touchdowns.[64] His best game of the season came in a Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Harris rushed for a season high 111 yards and caught the game winning touchdown from rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett with less than a minute to play.[65]

He finished the 2022 season with 272 carries for 1,038 yards, seven rushing touchdowns, and 41 receptions for 229 yards and three receiving touchdowns.[64] This made Harris the first Steelers player to rush for 1,000 yards in their 1st two seasons[66]

By the team's Week 6 bye, Harris accumulated 63 carries for 247 yards, scored no touchdowns and caught five passes for 37 yards. His performance on the season thus far was highlighted by Week 3's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in which Harris had 19 carries for 65 yards.[67][68]

He caught five passes on five targets for 42 yards in the 20–10 home loss.[70]

On November 19, Harris would only be able to gain 36 all purpose yards against division rivals the Cleveland Browns.[71] Harris's frustration with the team's performance began to boil over following the game. Harris seemed to be pessimistic about the season's outlook, stating to reporters in a post-game locker room interview that the poor play was "fixable" but questioned whether or not it would be fixed.[72] The following week would see Harris's best game of the season thus far. Harris had 15 carries for 99 yards with a five yard rushing touchdown in a 16–10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.[73]

In Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks, Harris had 27 carries for 122 yards and two touchdowns in the 30–23 victory.[74] He then capped off the regular season with 26 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown in a 17–10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.[75] In the 2023 season, Harris rushed 255 times for 1,035 yards and eight touchdowns in 17 games and starts, [76] making him the only running back in franchise history to start their career with three-straight 1,000-yard seasons.[77]

On May 2, 2024, the Steelers declined the fifth-year option on Harris' contract, making him a free agent after the 2024 season.[79] In Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, Harris had 20 carries for just 70 yards, averaging 3.5 yards per carry in the 18–10 Steelers win.[80] On September 29, Harris would have one of the statistically worst games of his career, getting just 13 carries for 19 yards with his longest carry being for five yards. He would also make three catches on six targets for 54 yards.

Personal life

[edit]

Harris graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in Consumer Services in 2020.[84] During his last college football season, Harris began celebrating touchdowns by striking the iconic World Cup pose of Megan Rapinoe. He mentioned finding Rapinoe's views on feminism and standing for her beliefs as "motivating" and "inspirational".[85]

In January 2019, Harris signed with Beast Mode Marketing, the marketing agency of former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch.[86]

On the day of the 2021 NFL draft, Harris declined the invitation to the event in Cleveland, Ohio, opting instead to host a party for the kids served at Greater Richmond Interfaith Program, the homeless shelter he spent his childhood at. He later gathered with family and friends to watch the draft at a restaurant owned by Marshawn Lynch, in Emeryville, California.[87]

In 2021, Harris founded the nonprofit organization Da' Bigger Picture Foundation along with assistance from California governor Gavin Newsom, which provides assistance to families impacted by homelessness and hunger.[88]
