VIDEO: Alabama’s Najee Harris pushing to be the ‘fastest’ RB in college football this year

His aim is to be a complete player this fall and speed is what he is lacking.

Despite a slow start to the 2019 season, Najee Harris exploded with his first career 1,000-yard rushing campaign (1,224) and totaled 13 touchdowns. He also caught 27 passes – including seven for scores and instead of turning professional, he chose to return to Alabama this year. For the former five-star out of California, consistent speed and aggressiveness are both areas needing improvement.

The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder is a tremendous athlete who did not begin tapping into his potential greatness until a matchup versus LSU at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
