RB Najee Harris has 'a lot to prove' after signing with Giants
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Giants signed free agent running back Najee Harris to a one-year deal after a workout that impressed coach John Harbaugh, despite Harris recovering from a torn Achilles injury last year.
- Harris acknowledged he is not yet in full football shape but is committed to regaining form quickly and is eager to contribute to the Giants' running back group.
- The signing follows the Giants waiving running back Dante Miller due to a groin injury and releasing wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, adjusting their roster ahead of the season.
- Harris, a former first-round pick and Pro Bowl player with the Pittsburgh Steelers, played only three games last season for the Los Angeles Chargers before his injury.
- Coach Harbaugh, familiar with Harris from their AFC North days, sees potential in Harris to fit the Giants' evolving playing style and is hopeful he can make a strong comeback.
