RB Najee Harris, Alabama Crimson Tide
The running back position for Miami is in limbo for the second consecutive year. In 2019, Miami saw Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage, Mark Walton and Patrick Laird all transition into the “featured back” role on offense. None of it worked. This year? Jordan Howard, Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed have held the title (with a returning Matt Breida looking to challenge that role this week versus Denver). The results have been better than 2019, but not where they need to be long term.
Najee Harris is plenty familiar with working with Tua Tagovailoa and mirrors many of the qualities Miami appears to be interested in a three down back. His Tide square off against a scrappy Kentucky defense this afternoon.
