He will play in the game as he looks to defeat several of his former Crimson Tide teammates for the Patriots. Harris recorded 1,200 yards rushing, 467 yards receiving, and 10 touchdowns as a rookie in 2021. He earned team captain honors before the season started, and Pittsburgh is excited to watch his growth. Harris made the Pro Bowl and Pro Football Writers’ All-Rookie Team for his efforts. He won two College Football Playoff National Championships, and a host of other awards for the Tide.
