Najee Harris is the workhorse back for Alabama football, but there is a battle on the second string that is bound to get interesting.
Outside of this past season, we are used to seeing two quality running backs get plenty of carries for Alabama football. Glenn Coffee worked with Mark Ingram, then Ingram and Trent Richardson, and then Richardson and Eddie Lacy. Even when Derrick Henry broke records for carries and yards for the Crimson Tide, Kenyan Drake was a receiving back that changed the pace.
In Najee Harris’s sophomore season, he was in a backfield with Josh Jacobs and Damien Harris.
