The Alabama Football offense will miss Najee Harris in the backfield next season, but the star running back could be Saban’s most successful in the NFL.

Nick Saban has had a key running back in the backfield in each of his seasons with the Tide. Many argue that Bama is RBU, or running back university. There is no doubt that Najee Harris is among one of the best. His decision to return for his senior season with the Alabama Football team was a crucial one.

The NFL has several Bama backs making waves in the league… Kenyan Drake, Josh Jacobs, Damien Harris, TJ Yeldon, Mark Ingram, and most notably, Derrick Henry.
