Seahawks Eye Najee Harris for Running Back Depth

0:00On March 26th, the Seattle Seahawks are eyeing free agent running back Naji Harris to shore up their backfield. The 28-year-old Pro Bowl veteran visited the team recently, as they searched for depth after losing starter Kenneth Walker III in free, agency. Harris spent last season with the Los Angeles Chargers, but tore his Achilles tendon just weeks into it. His agent recently shared training footage, showing solid recovery progress, putting him back in the mix for teams needing a reliable runner. Before joining the Chargers, Harris thrived over four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He topped 1,000 rushing yards every year, proving himself as a steady workhorse who could carry a heavy load. Seattle's situation looks thin, with back-up Zack Sharbone still rehabbing a torn ACL from earlier this year. The team has already extended wide receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba on a big deal to build around their passing game. Adding a healthy Harris could stabilize the ground attack and keep the offense balanced as the Seahawks pushed to contend and the upcoming campaign.
