Fumble
Harris’ rumble came in the last gasping game for Pittsburgh, with no time left, when he mishandled a lateral from Chase Claypool and Denzel Ward landed in the end zone for a touchdown to end the game. Harris has been surprisingly busy taking 40 carries and 10 catches in three games, and will now get some much-needed rest before facing the Jets defense in a week 4 home matchup from Sunday.

Fumbles
Only one player in NFL history has scored more regular-season touches than Harris—Gerald Riggs with 430 for the Atlanta Falcons in 1985. Elbow injury.)
Harris said his focus was on ball safety in Alabama, and it’s something he doesn’t plan to change in 2022.
Receiving yards
Recorded 1,200 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns on 307 attempts and added 74 catches for 397 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns as a rookie.
Selected for the Pro Bowl in 2021 as a rookie

Yards
The Steelers made an incredible 381 touches to Nazi Harris during their rookie season last year and he logged 81.4% of his plays. His opportunity paints a high ceiling, but his yards per run (3.9) and yards per catch (6.3) are well below the league average. Pittsburgh needs its offensive line to play better, and its change in quarterback could take a step back in the opening runs.
