Former NFL running back getting Najee Harris to be ‘much faster’ this season

We know the slogan “speed kills” is true in the National Football League, but it begins at the college football level.

The toughest players to defend are those who are difficult to get an angle on and tackle. It is usually the ones who work well in space and have a feel for the ball in their hands that end up creating scoring opportunities and causing nightmares for defensive minds.

During the middle portion of the 2019 season, Najee Harris started to tap into his potential of being a complete player.

With six 100-yard rushing performances, the former five-star via California ended the year with 1,224 yards and 13 touchdowns.
