Najee Harris’ elite speed and quickness will give Alabama an early advantage in the run game

He has looked really good in Alabama’s first two fall practices, but he’s worked hard all summer.

When he was not advocating for the #WeWantToPlay movement, Najee Harris was putting his body through workouts and improving his overall speed/quickness with former Auburn standout, Brad Lester. Whether he was on the University of Alabama campus or at a training facility in Atlanta, Ga., Harris challenged himself with some of the most unorthodox exercises.

Once a five-star prospect from Antioch, Calif., he recorded his first career 1,000-yard rushing season (1,224) in 2019 yet Harris sees an opportunity for more.
