SAN FRANCISCO, Ca. (KDKA) -- The Pittsburgh Steelers hoped to hit a home run with their first round pick in this year's draft, but they probably didn't expect to see Najee Harris making multiple appearances on the baseball diamond.
Harris, a Bay Area native, threw out the first pitch at Monday's Giants game in San Francisco.

Harris said it's important to home to advocate for others who are going through what he did as a child.
This wasn't his first experience with throwing out the first pitch, either.
Harris is expected to be a key player for the Steelers this season, who are set to begin training camp later this month.
