- Referred to as "Najee Mzee Harris" in similar blurbs of articles of the following articles from behindthesteelcurtain.com written by Bryan Anthony Davis.
- "We love citing middle names of members of the Men of Steel here at Behind the Steel Curtain, but real first names are fun to unveil as well. In the past, we have cited Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger, Najee Mzee Harris and Joey Eugene Porter, but who else? Hence, the “More You Know Middle Name of the Week”. This week we feature a legendary Hall of Fame CB, the great Mel Blount."

In the past, we have cited Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger, Patrick John Freiermuth and Najee Mzee Harris, but who else? Hence, the “More You Know Middle Name of the Week”. This week we feature a Steeler legend and his hopefully future legend of a son with a middle name that just doesn’t fit the Porters...Eugene."

- And of course in a more recent post by the Los Angeles Chargers Najee Harris himself says his middle name is "Mzee" and spells it out when attempting to edit the article.

- Surely this is more than enough as the posts by the Los Angeles Chargers above meet all the criteria cited in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:SELFSOURCE&redirect=yes 134.228.131.232 (talk) 20:56, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

- oph, looks like someone has changed it. Social media isn't usually acceptable but I guess this is an exception. Knitsey (talk) 05:54, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
"Jerome"
So it was this edit that for some reason was never reverted or investigated, creating a "stable" version that was taken as gospel truth by reverters. I'm not sure anyone who reverted back to "Jerome" in that flurry of edits yesterday; it was never verified in the first place, certainly not in the Pittsburgh Media Guide that was apparently taken as a warrant for the name. Drmies (talk) 15:26, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Drmies, I am finally glad that this is taken care of. I remember a tweet from years prior to the video where he said Jerome was not his middle name. One of the more interesting sagas I remember around here, especially with him having a video editing his own article. Red Director (talk) 01:37, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
