Chris Simms and Mike Florio respond after Lamar Jackson told Simms to "find something else to talk about" other than the Ravens quarterback's absence from OTAs.

Pittsburgh’s Najee Harris has always been a big running back, but Harris says he’s not much bigger now than he was as a rookie.

Responding to a report that his weight increased from 232 pounds to 244, Harris said that he’s been right around 240 since the Steelers drafted him a year ago.

“Bra I weighed 240 last year. Reporters really don’t be knowing nothing just be tweeting shit,” Harris wrote.

A running back gaining weight is rarely a good thing, but based on images from the Steelers’ Organized Team Activities, Harris doesn’t look noticeably bigger than he was a year ago.
