Najee Harris gives entertaining story and Nick Saban impersonation describing their relationship that turned into ‘best friends’

Najee Harris has been one of the fun gifts of entertaining from Alabama football.

Statistics have him as the best running back in Crimson Tide history and the Nick Saban era. Harris accomplished several individual awards in 2020 and has two College Football Playoff National Championship rings. He grew up homeless in California, but the former five-star made his mother and Tide fans proud by getting drafted. Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers took Harris at No. 24 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. As a first-round pick, he was impressive. Harris posted 1,200 yards rushing, 467 yards receiving, and ten touchdowns.
