Former Star Steelers RB Felt Disappointed After Joining the Chargers

Tension is already brewing in Los Angeles just months after a big-name running back joined the team. Insiders report growing frustration behind the scenes, pointing to chaotic practices, unclear offensive structure, and a lack of cohesion in the locker room.

The new addition was expected to bring leadership and production to a backfield that finished 24th in rushing yards last season. But since the start of OTAs, signs of disarray have emerged—from misaligned drills and clashing players to a playbook some are calling “a puzzle.”

Sources inside the organization say the veteran running back has voiced concerns about the coaching staff and the team’s direction. “I came here expecting a clear plan to win, but it’s all over the place,” he reportedly told a teammate. “No structure in practice—guys are lost, and it’s nothing like Pittsburgh.”

His frustration boiled over when he skipped the final OTA session and was seen returning to Alabama, sparking speculation about his mindset. “It’s a mess. No rhythm, no unity—how do you build an offense like this?” said one insider.

Fans have reacted strongly. While some back the RB’s honesty—“He’s right, this team’s sloppy!”—others have clapped back: “Quit whining! You’re not a Steeler anymore!” The divide highlights the pressure on the new regime to pull the locker room together.

At the center of this storm is former Steelers Pro Bowler Najee Harris, who joined the Chargers this offseason on a one-year, $9.25M deal. Known for his professionalism and production in Pittsburgh, Harris is reportedly struggling to adapt to head coach Jim Harbaugh’s looser system.

Whether his concerns spark change—or further divide the team—remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: The transition from black and gold to lightning bolt blue has not been smooth.
