Harris is expected to take on a premier role in Pittsburgh’s offense, as they look to improve upon what was the league’s worst rushing attack in 2020. They for Harris will be translating those opportunities into production.

The last running back to take home Rookie of the Year honors was the New York Giants’ Saquan Barkley in 2018. Four running backs have won the award over the last decade.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is the favorite to win Rookie of the Year at +280. Chicago Bears signal caller Justin Fields owns the second-best odds at +600.
