2021 NFL Draft Najee Harris
Najee Harris, Alabama, RB • 6‘1" • 232 lbs
OMGURD….30 TURCHDOWNZ…in 2020!!
That stat alone is enough to make fantasy players salivate. Harris is a do-it-all back, with great size and speed as well as being a talented pass catcher who wins contested balls and excels after the catch. He could improve on his pass-pro but should be serviceable when called upon to block. Clearly, wherever he lands, he has the talent to become a three-down feature back right out of the gate.
Harris was used lightly his first two seasons only carrying the ball 178 times for 1,153 yards and seven TDs. Harris started his Junior year serving a four game suspension, once the suspension was lifted Harris started the remaining 12 games carrying the ball 209 time for 1,224 yards and 13 TDs and hauling in 27 balls for 304 yards seven TDs. In his final season for the Crimson tide he rushed 251 times for 1,466 yards and 26 TDs and caught 43 balls for 425 yards, finding the end-zone an additional four times. If you are doing the math that adds up to 30 TDs in only 13 games.
We expect this explosive back with excellent vision to be the first back off the board probably sometime late in the first or early second round.
