Smith is joining Waddle as the two receivers returning for the 2020 season. As a senior, Smith will be the leader on the receiving corps, despite often being quiet off the field. He is most certainly on the 2021 first-round watch list.

13. Najee Harris, RB

Harris had his first taste of the spotlight in the Alabama backfield in 2019. He decided to return for the 2020 season with Alabama, rather than enter the NFL draft – a draft class which was full to the brim with running back talent. Harris is on some Heisman watch lists and is certainly a candidate for being a first-round draft selection in 2021.
