Steelers RB Najee Harris skips steps, reporters heading into training camp

The Pittsburgh Steelers players reported to training camp on Wednesday. One player everyone was waiting anxiously to see was running back Najee Harris. Most players who arrive at Latrobe take it as their first opportunity in weeks to talk to the media and share their excitement for the start of training camp.

But not for running back Najee Harris. Harris showed up at camp and instead of taking the stairs past the media, Harris navigated the grass with his luggage in tow and opted not to speak to any reporters as he hustled into the dorms like some sort of walk of shame.

Harris is avoiding the press so he doesn’t have to address the rumors that he asked the team not to give him his fifth-year option so he could instead play out the season and then leave the team in free agency. There’s been no denial of this from Harris or the team, but it’s something he will eventually have to answer to.
