The success of Derrick Henry in the NFL can only increase the potential draft value of Harris. He comes with a big back mold (6’1” and 230 lbs.) with an excellent foundation in speed (4.45 forty). Over his final two seasons at Alabama, Harris gained 3,419 combined yards on 530 touches with 50 touchdowns and 70 catches.

From an NFL perspective, there is a lot to like with the potential upside with Harris.
