The New England Patriots have six running backs on its roster, but its third-round draft pick in 2019 is beginning to rise at training camp.
Damien Harris, a native of Richmond, Ky., was selected No. 87 overall after a stellar career at the University of Alabama from 2015 to 2018.
He arrived as a five-star and proved to be one of the best rushers in school history.
Harris was on two College Football Playoff National Championship teams (2015, 2017) and three Southeastern Conference title teams (2015-16, 2018).
The 5-foot-11, 213-pounder had two 1,000-yard seasons in 2016 and 2017, while his tenure concluded with 3,070 yards rushing.
