Harris, a native of Antioch, Calif., fulfilled all of his dreams as a student-athlete at the University of Alabama. He was a two-time 1,000-yard running back and holds every career record in school history at the position. Harris garnered Unanimous First-Team All-American honors, first-team All-SEC honors and won the Doak Walker Award. He also finished the 2020 season as a Heisman finalist. Harris is a two-time College Football Playoff National Champion, and now he is ready to take on the NFL.
While the position of running back has been devalued in the last few years, Harris’ ability to showcase power, speed, contact balance, versatility (at receiver) and pass-blocking skills is highly valuable.
A team will get a complete player in him and fans are looking forward to watching him.
