2019 was Najee Harris’s first season as the pure starter. After playing behind Bo Scarbrough, Damien Harris and Josh Jacobs, he had his time to shine and did not waste the opportunity.

Last season Harris recorded 1,224 yards from 209 carries for 13 touchdowns. He also added 304 yards and seven more touchdowns off of 27 receptions.

It’s expected that Harris will only see his numbers rise. However, Trey Sanders, the five-star running back from IMG Academy, makes his debut in 2020 after suffering a season-ending knee injury before the 2019 season began.

Harris decided to return for his senior season in 2020 rather than enter the NFL draft. The 2020 draft class was packed with top-running back talent. Harris will not only look to make a push for the Heisman, but to raise his draft value as well.
