Najee Harris
Hits the crease and outruns the angle. He has spent four seasons in the Alabama backfield. His first career honor landed in 2020: All-America (Consensus). On tape: 206 rushing yards and 42 receiving yards against Ole Miss, Week 6, 2020.
Play style
Cuts upfield fast. Designed to find the crease, not run through the line.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 14.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 12.4% of his carries. 12 carries for 43 yds vs Texas A&M; 23 for 206 vs Ole Miss.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
Not actually a closer
55.4% of carries overall (250/451) → 28.1% of Q4-with-lead carries (38/135) — 65.8% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
