Najee Harris’ increased speed and explosiveness, due to intense offseason workouts, pays off versus Missouri

No one trained harder than Najee Harris over the summer.

All the moments he spent at Alabama, Texas, Georgia and California with Brad Lester (former Auburn running back) and Derrick Blaylock were meant for a huge purpose. Whether it was flipping tires, running on treadmills, performing agility and change of direction exercises, improving speed and quickness or recovering in a cryotherapy chamber, Harris did everything necessary to prepare himself for the Heisman campaign and first-round draft stock he desires to have as a senior for the Crimson Tide.

Everything paid off over the weekend, as the former five-star had a dominant showing versus Missouri.
