As injured Alabama standouts DeVonta Smith and Najee Harris stood off to the side together during Senior Bowl practice this week, there often seemed to be a Miami Dolphins staff member not too far away.
Whether it was a Dolphins assistant coach or other personnel member, they made sure to spark up any conversation they could with Smith and Harris — two dynamic prospects in the 2021 NFL draft field.
At the end of Wednesday’s practice, Dolphins general manager Chris Grier found Alabama coach Nick Saban while talking to Harris.
Grier and Saban spoke for several minutes before walking together toward midfield where they continued their conversation with Dolphins coach Brian Flores at Hancock Whitney Stadium.
