Former Alabama running back Najee Harris had a stellar final season of college football. Now, as he enters the 2021 NFL draft as the presumed No. 1 running back, fans and analysts are curious to see where he begins his professional career.
While his future home is still up in the air, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported today that teams believe Harris won’t slide past the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 24 overall.
He has also been connected to the Miami Dolphins at No. 18, and a few others in between.
Other running backs that could be seen as late first-round selections include Clemson’s Travis Etienne and UNC’s Javonte Williams.
