Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has some words for his former team's facilities during his introductory press conference with the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday.
After taking a tour of the Chargers facility before his press conference, Harris took a bit of a shot at the Pittsburgh facilities while speaking with the L.A. media.
"It's a great weight room, first of all," Harris said . "Even the facility, is all great things. A lot of things that they provide here you can take advantage of. I was telling them, it's not like this everywhere, man. This is a special thing right here. It reminded me of college at Alabama, all the resources that we have. So just getting the chance to take advantage of all these opportunities is a blessing. And I was telling him, y'all have a great thing going on right now. It's not like this everywhere. It's not. Man, yeah, I'm just happy to be here."
For the second year in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers did not receive favorable reviews in the NFLPA's annual facilities report card . The Steelers once again were ranked No. 28 out of 32 teams.
The Steelers made some improvements, most notably by adding a gameday daycare for players. That raised their family support grade from an F- to a C-. But overall, the Steelers are still lacking in several key departments.

"The Pittsburgh Steelers are holding steady at 28th overall, with head coach Mike Tomlin receiving high praise. Players credit him for developing a strong team culture. It is no surprise that Tomlin once again received an A grade as head coach," the Steelers' NFLPA overview report stated .
The Steelers' weight room was rated 28th, strength coaches 32nd, training room 25th, training staff 18th, locker room 27th and nutritionist 30th.
