Have you noticed how much that new Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris hurdled defenders during his college career at Alabama? If you have done any research on YouTube since the Steelers selected Harris 24th overall in this first-round of the 2021 NFL Draft, you likely have run across a few videos dedicated to his hurdling exploits at Alabama, Below is one of those videos.
Recently, Harris had a one-on-one interview with Missi Matthews of Steelers.com and during it he was asked about his famous hurdle move. Harris’ mom, Tianna Hicks, is on record as saying that she doesn’t necessarily like seeing her son hurdle defenders but mentioned that he has got better at it over the years just the same.
