It’s a role Harris says he shied away from earlier in his life.

The 24-year-old credits the help of his teammates and coaches for getting him prepared to take on more responsibility.

Harris set a franchise rookie record by rushing for 1,200 yards in 2021.

Harris and the Steelers start the 2022 season at defending AFC champion Cincinnati.
