The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder is coming off his second straight 1,000-yard rushing season (1,466) and led the nation for rushing touchdowns (26). His versatility at receiver makes him a huge commodity at the next level.
In the last two years, Harris totaled 70 receptions for 729 yards and 11 scores.
He was the Crimson Tide’s third-leading receiver in 2020, posting 43 catches for 425 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Despite being in a talented draft class, Harris has an opportunity to show personnel members from all 32 NFL teams that he is the most complete back. He is a two-time College Football Playoff National Champion, two-time Southeastern Conference Champion, Unanimous First-Team All-American, first-team All-SEC, Heisman finalist and Doak Walker Award winner. Harris also holds the career record for rushing yards (3,843), rushing touchdowns (46) and total scores responsible by a running back (57) in Alabama football history.
Tide fans will be excited to watch him on Jan. 30.
