NY Giants signing Najee Harris to bolster running back position
Big Blue View • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Giants have signed four-time 1,000-yard rusher Najee Harris to strengthen their running back group, following the waiver/injury of Dante Miller.
- Harris, a 2021 first-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers, has consistently rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his four seasons but recently suffered an Achilles tendon tear after playing three games with the Los Angeles Chargers.
- Giants coach John Harbaugh, familiar with Harris from his time with the Baltimore Ravens, noted Harris is not yet fully recovered or in football shape but showed promise during his workout.
- Harris is a powerful, between-the-tackles runner who fits the Giants’ preferred power running style, and he could potentially play a significant role if he returns to full health.
- It remains uncertain whether Harris will become the primary second back alongside Skattebo or how his role will evolve within the Giants' backfield.
