The Giants signed running back Najee Harris on Tuesday and he said at a press conference that he thinks he has "a good opportunity" to contribute because of how John Harbaugh-coached teams approach offensive football.

Najee Harris, who injured his Achilles tendon while playing for the Los Angeles Chargers, is now fully recovered and has shifted his focus from Jim Harbaugh to John Harbaugh's team, the New York Giants.

Running back Najee Harris is signing with the New York Giants, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement. Harris is coming off tearing his left Achilles tendon on a noncontact play in a game on Sept. 21 while with the Los Angeles Chargers. Giants coach John Harbaugh said Harris is not 100% healthy and expected it to be a process to get him up and going if signed.

Najee Harris worked out for the New York Giants on Monday as the team weighs whether to sign the veteran running back who is nearly a year removed from tearing his left Achilles tendon. Harris, 28 played three games for coach John Harbaugh’s brother, Jim, with the Los Angeles Chargers last season before getting injured on a noncontact play against Denver on Sept. 21. “He’s not back 100%,” John Harbaugh said.
