Inside Najee Harris intense workouts, response to playing time

A quick look at Najee Harris told Marcus Malu all he needed to know.

The trainer whose spent countless hours training Alabama's rising sophomore running back had to admit he was impressed.

"Damn, boy," he said during Harris' spring break trip home to California. "You look like a straight man right now."

The tone of his visit was considerably different from the last one, Malu told AL.com. His star client had developed physically and emotionally in the few months since flying home after the national championship. Harris had a bounce back in his step and was ready to work.
