Steelers: Najee Harris ditches the visor because he’s the ultimate savage

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is not wearing a visor in his second NFL season.

Najee Harris’ reasoning behind not wearing a visor in his second year with the Pittsburgh Steelers should absolutely terrify opposing linebackers and other would-be tacklers.

Harris appeared on the latest episode of All Things Covered with former Steelers defensive back and two-time Super Bowl champion Bryant McFadden. What he said to his fellow Steelers brother should put the rest of the league on notice.

"“I’m just strictly business. I wanna see a m**********r’s eyes,” said Harris to McFadden."

No doubt about it, that comment is going to carry favor with Steelers Nation, 100 percent. Harris comes from humble beginnings in Antioch, California. His blue-collar ethos made him a Doak Walker winner and a national champion while at Alabama. With a change of guard at quarterback, Harris understands fully he must be sensational throughout his sophomore season in the league.

Here is the entire conversation between Harris and McFadden on All Things Covered.

Steelers RB Najee Harris tosses visor faster than you can say Head Ball Coach

Admittedly, this is a bit of fresh air for the Steelers. It has been over a decade since they last made it to the Super Bowl. With Ben Roethlisberger having hung up the spikes, it will be a lot of Mitch Trubisky before Kenny Pickett and his two gloves overtake him on the depth chart. In the meantime, look for Harris to go full-blown Bammer Hammer bell-cow back, Derrick Henry style.

A lunchpail mentality will do the Steelers a world of good. If Harris wants to be tougher than a $2 steak, then let the big dog eat. By not wearing a visor, look for Harris to strike fear in another man’s eyes, as he burrows through his soul with one punishing run after another. If his eyes are every bit as terrifying as Mike Singletary’s once were, the Steelers are about to be the ’85 Bears!

You know what, why the hell not? If Joe Burrow can take the hapless Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl in year two, here is to Harris going Eric Dickerson 1984 all over everyone’s asses. It is not if he will rush for over 2,000 yards, but how quickly he will do so. It will be like watching “The Bus” Jerome Bettis run over people in the AFC Central, rather than singing along to Olivia Rodrigo.

Good for you, Najee. You look happy and healthy, not me, the linebacker you never cared to ask.
