Have my opinions on the Steelers picking Najee in the 1st round of 2021 and his skillset but you can’t take away that he ate a ton of carries & had crazy durability doing so. Never missed a single game. Great leader, too. Rooting for him in L.A.

But they chose to sit him after a 6-game audition. And then they tried to act like they could fall back on him prior to free agency. Never agreed with how it was handled but hope for the best for him.10 Mar 2025 18:57 +0000at://did:plc:fpcwoupsuwxrfdf5qbxgorks/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk2aa25rhc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/statsguydaniel.bsky.social/post/3lk23npwqok2dIf Dan Moore Jr. had a nickel for every time a Steelers fan tweeted that he should be replaced, he would have $82 million.
