Najee Harris Throws NFL Draft Party for Kids at Homeless Shelter He Grew Up in

Alabama star Najee Harris helped stage a watch party for the 2021 NFL draft at a homeless shelter where he spent a portion of his childhood.

"That little time we had helped my family out to find another place to stay so just giving back to communities and giving back to places like this means a lot to me," Harris said of visiting the Greater Richmond Interfaith Program shelter in Richmond, California, per Lyanne Melendez of ABC7.

He also told KRON4 News' Kylen Mills his mom was especially emotional when she visited the facility:
