Najee Harris talks adjusting to sweltering Alabama heat during Fox Sports interview

Leaving home for the first time is an adjustment in and of itself. But when your next destination is over 2,000 miles away, there may be a little more in-store when you decide to plant your roots.

Alabama running back Najee Harris is one of those young men who have had to get used to a new lifestyle in Tuscaloosa but his on the field play only warrants adjustments from defenders who underestimate his skills as a player.

Especially those who haven’t respected him as a pass-catcher.

“Me being a big back, the assumption is OK, he’s big so he’s stiff, maybe,” Harris said to Fox Sports’ Reggie Bush on Thursday.
