The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted UCF running back prospect RJ Harvey for a pre-draft top-30 visit. Harvey, known for his contact balance, burst, and vision, has consistently achieved over 1,000 yards from scrimmage in three consecutive seasons, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors in 2024 with 4,509 total yards and 47 touchdowns since 2022. Standing at 5'8" and weighing 205 lbs, Harvey is considered an underrated running back expected to be a mid-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
While concerns linger about Harvey's play speed and pass protection, his production and potential make him an appealing option for the Steelers, who could benefit from his skills to complement their running back room led by Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell. Harvey's value as a late-round selection presents Pittsburgh with a cost-effective opportunity to bolster their roster, especially if they choose to focus on other positions in the earlier rounds of the draft.
