Najee Harris
RB, Alabama
Draft Projection: Rounds 1-2
NFL Comparison: Le’Veon Bell
Najee Harris is a great all-around running back. He has a great combination of size and power but is still very agile and elusive, providing him with a wide variety of ways to make defenders miss. Harris is patient and waits for his blocks to develop, allowing him to find the best hole possible. He is also a fantastic receiver out of the backfield, demonstrating soft hands and elite route running ability. The one weakness in Harris’s game is his speed. He isn’t incredibly fast and won’t be the type of player who can beat defenders to the edge on outside runs or score a lot of long touchdowns. Nonetheless, Harris is fully capable of getting the job done as an RB1 and should add a lot of versatility to whatever offense he ends up joining.
