Last week against Ole Miss, Najee Harris posted a career day on the ground, gashing the opposing defense for 206 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
Alabama’s offensive line was motivated entering the game after a pedestrian showing on the ground the previous game against Texas A&M, but Harris had a little extra motivation during the game.
ESPN’s College GameDay ran the story of Harris’ inspiration from an eight-year-old fan named Braxton Weidman, who is battling a brain tumor. Despite the illness, Weidman’s strength is profound and so is his love of the Alabama Crimson Tide and his favorite player Harris.
