Former Alabama running back Najee Harris is all set to be a first-round selection in the upcoming 2021 NFL draft. His draft value rose exponentially throughout the 2020 season, earning him an early-round spot – a position most draft-eligible running backs don’t find themselves in.
Harris joined ESPN’s Adam Schefter for a podcast, where he spoke about the various aspects of his game, life and future.
One thing Harris touched on was his former teammate, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
Waddle is often seen as ‘WR3’ in most mock drafts, falling behind LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase and fellow Crimson Tide product DeVonta Smith.
On the podcast, Harris offered extremely high praise for Waddle, which could be heard when clicking the link in Schefter’s tweet down below.
Najee Harris on teammate Jaylen Waddle: “He’s small but he’s dynamic. He’s explosive. Really really explosive. Closest thing to Tyreek Hill. You gotta see him in person, how he plays how he gets in and out of cuts, how he stops and goes 60 right away.”
