He has always represented as a team player, but now Najee Harris has elite speed to pair with everything else.
Despite his five rushing touchdowns in two games, one of the coolest moments from Alabama’s 52-24 victory over Texas A&M inside Bryant-Denny Stadium was Harris’ effort in preventing a touchdown. Mac Jones was looking to get him the ball in the flat; however, DeMarvin Leal (Aggies’ defensive lineman) batted the pass in the air and intercepted it. Instead of watching him score, the former five-star used his offseason training and the work put in with Dr. Matt Rhea — Alabama’s Director of Performance Science — to run down Leal and make a critical tackle.
