Najee Harris was prolific with Alabama

Harris was the top running back selected in the 2021 NFL Draft for a reason. He put together an incredible body of work at Alabama for the Crimson Tide offense. After all was said and done, Harris plastered his name all over the record books in Tuscaloosa, cementing his name with some of the all-time greats in Tide history.

He racked up 3,843 career rushing yards at Alabama, leaving Tuscaloosa as the school’s all-time leading rusher. Keep in mind, Alabama has had such gifted running backs as Heisman Trophy winners Derrick Henry and Mark Ingram suit up for them. His 4,624 career all-purpose yards rank him second in Alabama football history.

The California native recorded 13 games of 100-plus rushing yards or more in his college career, including six games in his junior season and six games in his senior season. He was the Doak Walker Award winner in 2020, the award given to the nation’s top running back. Harris was a unanimous first team All-American selection his senior season, as well.

He was instrumental in helping guide the Crimson Tide to the national championship last season. PFF’s Zach Tantillo stated he thought the Alabama offense in 2020 was the best offense ever seen under Nick Saban at Alabama.
