Najee Harris draws interest with visit to New York Giants, per Adam Schefter

Najee Harris, the former Pittsburgh Steelers running back, is visiting the New York Giants, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter as reported by Yahoo Sports. The visit indicates continued attention around Harris’s fit in an offense that will be shaping its backfield plans heading into the regular season.

For Pittsburgh, Harris’s departure has meant the club has moved on from a power runner who spent recent seasons as one of its central ground-and-pass-catching options. For New York, an early look at a player with Harris’s background reflects a common offseason priority: turning one or two roster slots into a more complete option that can contribute in multiple roles.

Harris’s profile has typically appealed to teams looking for balance, because running backs at his level are often evaluated not just for rushing production but also for third-down reliability and pass protection. A visit does not confirm a deal, but it does indicate that at least one team is taking a tangible step in evaluating personnel.

The Giants operate in the NFC, where division games and late-season matchups can turn on who has the most dependable run-game complements when opponents alter their defensive fronts. Adding a veteran option (or even creating competition for a job) can change how an offense attacks, especially in situations where play-calling needs to be resilient against stacked boxes.

This report is also a reminder that the NFL’s offseason cycle includes a steady stream of visits, workouts, and meetings that may never result in an agreement. Without additional confirmation from the team or the league’s official transaction channels, the visit should be treated as preliminary and subject to change.

What to watch next is whether the Giants provide further public confirmation, whether Harris’s situation develops into a signing or a more formal workout, and how New York’s existing depth chart evolves. In the short term, the visit itself is the news, but the real story will be whether it leads to a roster decision.

For Harris, a visit like this is an opportunity to show how he fits the Giants’ offensive plan, including how he handles the day-to-day details of learning a new scheme. For the Giants, it offers a chance to add proven experience as they continue to refine the backfield rotation.
