Najee Harris’ sour grapes with the Pittsburgh Steelers were on full display during his first few media appearances with his new team—the Los Angeles Chargers—and Pat Freiermuth took exception to his close friend’s comments.Appearing on The Christian Kuntz Podcast, Freiermuth expressed overall excitement for the next chapter of Harris’ career but was less than thrilled with his post-Steelers criticisms:“It’s going to be tough, but I’m happy for [Harris] and his new opportunity. I didn’t agree with the way he went out.
I called him about it and we talked. Every guy is different.”Freiermuth is, of course, referencing Harris’ criticism of the Steelers’ training facility and the team’s inability to form a consistent offensive identity during his four years in the Steel City.
The big Steelers tight end even jokingly offered a challenge to the new Chargers running back ahead of Pittsburgh’s 2025 trip to Los Angeles:“We play L.A. this year.
You know he’s going to be running hard—but we’re going to be hitting him harder.”While Freiermuth and Harris cleared the air, the former Steelers running back will likely have some explaining to do when he lines up across from the Steel City defense this season.
